Writers Guidelines & Submission

Welcome to our Writers Guidelines!

We greatly appreciate your interest in writing a guest article for MustLoveCats.net!

That's right, your article about cats (Fiction/Non-Fiction) can become part of our website! You don't have to be a published writer, however you need to be a good writer with a compelling voice.

In addition to your story, you can also send us stories from a cat's perspective, informational content about cats, cat poems, cat photos and videos. Cat artists and crafters are also welcome!

If you are serious about sending us your contribution, we ask you to submit original content. It's Ok if it's based on something you've already posted, but it cannot be lifted word-for-word (search engines consider that to be a Black Hat practice employed by content farms).

Articles will be screened for a number for of checkpoints such as spelling, grammar, punctuation and voice. Our editors will make minor revisions at their own discretion and without consultation with the author(s). If substantive changes or fact-checking are required, our editors will contact the author(s). Don’t be offended by this—we’re just trying to make every post we publish as successful as possible.

If we feel your article includes too many links back to your own blog/website, we may remove them, or reject the post. A high-quality, helpful article will get people checking out who you are more effectively than will lots of links back to your blog/website.
