What if we dont have a link to a blog post? Would that lessen our chances for being selected?
Great question, Natashia! The reason we ask for links to a blog post is so that we can read a few samples of your writing. We want to get a feel for your style, see how you put your thoughts together, and look at what you add to your posts visually {pictures, graphics, etc}. If you have any other published work or even just want to create a mock post in a document, we would be happy to take a peek at that too!
Ok..sounds good! I will try to make the deadline.
Will y’all be offering this opportunity again in the future?
Yes! We hold open contributor calls regularly!
