Write For Us

Paid Opportunities for Guest Authors

We’re always on the lookout for new authors.

If you’re a licensed coach, qualified therapist, or clinician and you’ve got an idea to share that will add value to the lives of our readers, we want to hear about it. 

We like articles that are based on proven therapies, approaches, research, and science.  By all means add your perspective, cover some real-life examples and maybe share an exercise or two.  Just make sure to leave readers in an informed position, ready to take action on the information you have shared.

We also accept features from experienced writers and journalists, as long as the information or perspective shared is backed up with appropriate references and research.

Showcase Your Work

We want to showcase your best work and we’ll challenge you to get there.  Once accepted, we’ll work with you to ensure that your final article is presented to the world only when it’s good and ready.  However, it’s important to say that we only accept articles that add value to our readers, are well written, and free from mistakes.  

With thousands of readers visiting The Rediscovery of Me every month, writing for us is a rewarding process.  You will actively be working to improve the lives of other people.  Don’t be surprised if you get feedback from readers telling you this. 

What We’re Looking For

At The Rediscovery of Me, we serve the real person – the human being who is often hidden behind the professional persona that many of us play in life.  

We share real-world skills that can be used by our readers to improve all aspects of their lives.  We’re all about personal development education – with an emphasis on the ‘education’.  

We seek to address the issues that often get in the way of our careers and personal lives and hold us back.  We passionately believe that it’s possible to take action in any situation – often we just need to be shown how. 

High Quality Personal Development

We take great pride in providing high-quality personal development, self-help, and psychoeducation materials that have a tangible impact.  We don’t publish click-bait or listicles.  We don’t write ‘fluff’.  Our articles have substance and lead to an action-based outcome for the reader.  You need to take what you know as a professional and turn it into helpful, valuable, and accessible content for our readers.  

You can write about any of our main topic areas: 

• • • Productivity
    • Confidence 
    • Self-Awareness including beliefs and values
    • Parenting 
    • Careers
    • Wellbeing and mental health

What We Publish 

We publish articles that are at least 500 words long.  Most of our articles are between 1,500 and 2,000 words long, although often much longer. However, it’s most important to consider the value that you adding to the lives of our readership. 

Articles should be written in American English, and be fully checked for all spelling, punctuation, and grammar.  We suggest that you use Grammarly to help you with this.  It’s free and easy to use.  

Articles should be written and structured to be easily accessible.  Each article should have an actionable takeaway for the reader. All articles should be informative, accurate, well-considered explorations of important topics, themes, ideas, and strategies.  We only publish articles based on real-world theory, research, and science.  

Submitting Your Article

When submitting, consider your article as part of a wider whole.  Think about taking the reader on an informative journey, adding value to their lives, helping them to improve some aspect of their life in a step-by-step process.  We like sequences of articles that dive deep into complex topics and leave the reader well informed.   Start from the beginning.  Write about your area of expertise.  

We particularly like articles that come with free downloads for the reader – something tangible that they can take away and use.
