- This bio can include a link to the author’s website, social platform or something else they’d like to promote
Topic guidelines
- Go into detail on a narrow topic (no overview articles, please)
- The topic must be something relevant to our audience — something they’re interested in or find challenging

- Answer a specific question they’re asking by providing detailed, step-by-step instructions

Style rules
- SEO-friendly but written for the reader first
- Text must be broken into sections with appropriate headings
- Conversational tone (use first and second person and contractions wherever possible)
- At least one link to something on kmwade.com unless this is a completely new topic for us (link to a web page or blog post)
- At least one link to something on the author’s website (if relevant)
- At least one link to another website
- All statistics and facts must be referenced with either:
- A URL hyperlinked with relevant anchor text; or
- An appropriate in-text reference to a physical reference (like a book)
- The article should be written from the perspective of the author and should not actively promote K. M. Wade or the author’s business (it shouldn’t be a sales pitch or ad)
