Thank you for your interest in submitting an article, project, or product for Elemental Green! We’re on a mission to educate and inspire people to create their dream green home – whatever size, shape, or place it may be. There’s no single path or end product, so we aim for diversity of projects and information to better empower our readers to find the sustainable solutions they maybe never knew existed.
Do you have an article, project, or product you’d like to share? Here’s how to do it:
How Can I Write for Elemental Green?
#1 Review our Editorial Policy to ensure your article (or idea) fits within our content guidelines.
#2 An article should be a minimum of 400 words and must be exclusively submitted to Elemental Green. We will likely reject overly self-promotional pieces, but it’s okay to talk about who you are and what you do if it’s relevant to the article.
#3 Find or create a high-quality header image:
- Image should be a photo without any text overlays or graphic overlays.
- It should be high-resolution and at least 840 X 420 pixels.
- Please share attribution details – did you take the photo? Is it something from the public domain or creative commons? Did you buy it? Whatever you choose, we need the specific source and permissions.
- We have many post layouts that feature more than one image and actually encourage the use of multiple images. Here are some examples:
#4 Include an author bio. A short paragraph is sufficient.
#5 Submit your article idea or draft article using this form.
If accepted, we still require guest articles to go through our normal editorial process and will notify you of any edits for you to approve.
