Write for Master Writer Mindset!

Do you have an insightful, inspiring, or actionable article that can help writers strengthen their mindset, build creative momentum, or overcome the emotional challenges of the writing life?

We’d love to hear from you.

Please note, however:
We are getting a lot of posts that are poorly written, poorly researched, or are vehicles meant to advertise another business or product. We are also receiving many inappropriate pitches that make it clear the writer has not read our guidelines or our website.

We do not accept articles from:

  • staff writers or freelancers representing other businesses
  • online marketing firms
  • commercial websites that are not providing services for professional writers
  • content farms
  • individuals wanting to include affiliate links to build incoming link SEO for other companies
  • essay/academic paper/online college/research paper writing businesses

If you send an inappropriate query or email that clearly shows you have not read these guidelines, you will not receive a response. We simply do not have time to respond to writers who don’t bother to carefully review what we do.

What We Are Looking For

Below are some of the topics we’re most interested in. If you have a completed draft in one of these areas—or a fresh idea you think would resonate with our readers—please contact us. (Submission guidelines are below.) We welcome completed drafts and idea pitches.

Topics We Love:

  • Personal stories of how mindset affected your writing journey (or how writing shifted your mindset)
  • Tips for overcoming fear, resistance, imposter syndrome, procrastination, or perfectionism
  • Insights on building a consistent writing practice—even with a busy life
  • Tools or techniques that help writers stay motivated, focused, and productive
  • Strategies for emotionally managing the ups and downs of the writing life
  • How mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, or burnout impact creativity—and what helps
  • Stories of breakthroughs—how you got unstuck, finished a project, or gained the courage to share your work
  • Lessons in self-trust, creative resilience, or finding confidence in your voice
  • Anything that supports writers in mastering the inner game of writing

Guest Post Guidelines:

  1. Must be for writers.
    We do not accept general mindset, wellness, or productivity posts. Your article must speak directly to the experience of being a writer and address challenges they face internally and creatively.
  2. Align with our mission.
    Master Writer Mindset is here to help writers strengthen their mental game—so they can write more consistently, publish more confidently, and build a sustainable creative life. Your post should contribute to that goal in some way.
  3. High-quality, original content only.
    All posts must be original, well-written, and free from plagiarism. You may quote up to five sources (with citations). We encourage referencing relevant studies or expert insights when appropriate.
  4. No promotional content.
    We do not accept posts that are thinly disguised advertisements. You’re welcome to include your website and social links in your bio, but the post itself should not promote products or services.
  5. Keep it clean.
    We may remove excessive or spammy links. All submissions are subject to editing for clarity, tone, and formatting. We’ll always maintain the heart of your piece and will reach out if major changes are needed.
  6. Word count & formatting.
    Submissions should be between 1,000–2,500 words and sent as a Word doc without images. Please include a strong title and at least three subheadings to help with readability.
  7. Include sources.
    If you reference studies or statistics, please list your sources at the end. Here’s a good example of our preferred format:

  8. Your byline.
    Authors may include a short bio (100 words or less), a personal photo, and up to two website or social links. If you’re a published author, you may also include up to two book links.
  9. Republishing policy.
    We ask for 30 days of exclusivity. After that, you may republish your article elsewhere with attribution and a link back to the original post on Master Writer Mindset.
  10. No compensation.
    We do not pay for guest submissions at this time. However, our site receives thousands of visits monthly, and we promote guest posts on social media for added exposure.
  11. We reserve the right to decline submissions that do not align with our content focus or standards, or to remove posts at any time.

Email your completed post or pitch into our contact page and tell us a little about yourself. If we accept your post, we’ll request your bio and headshot.

We can’t wait to see what you bring to the storyverse.
