All writers have started off as non-writers, mucking through the muddy depths of head hopping, comma splicing, and purple prose. Through our early years, we learn through a mix of trial and error, feedback, and studying. Some of us make it, while others (maybe the smarter ones) throw in the towel and run to the hills, never to look back.
For those who have made it, or at least those who have made it far enough to have learned a few lessons, Writing Bad has an offer for you that will give you both the opportunity to expand your writing resume and to share your knowledge.
Writing Bad was founded to be a resource to writers of all skill-levels. Our goal is to offer resources to enable writers to further develop their knowledge and writing ability so that they may better achieve their writing goals. To do this, we publish writing advice articles on our website under the following categories: Prose, Poetry, and Marketing & Grammar.
We are seeking writing advice articles to publish on our website. The articles will be published under the author’s name (or pen-name, if they so choose), along with a short short author bio about the author. Author bios are allowed up to one external link to an author website or an author’s social media page.
Please closely review our below submission criteria before submission. Submissions that do not adhere to guidelines will not be considered. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact us. Thank you!
