Guest post invitation

Have you ever wanted to share best practices at your site?  Tell everyone about an inspiring client story?  Share tips on volunteer management? Be a published author?

If you said YES to any of the above questions, we would love to have you guest post on our Central Ohio OBB Blog! 

Guidelines*:

  1. Length: Roughly 500 words (or less)
  2. Images: Include a picture or headshot of the author
  3. Style:  Use a writing styles that read more like an individual would talk as opposed to a press release.  Posts may be serious or humorous, as long as they are authentic, personal and transparent.
  4. Content: Other than what is mentioned above (stories, tips, etc) consider topics that are unique, authentic, and that can't be found anywhere else in the network.  Also make sure it caters to other sites and counselors, not clients in particular.
  5. Sources: Please give credit to any sources that you use, including links where appropriate.
  6. Layout: Make your content easy on a reader’s eyes. Bullet points, bolded sections and short paragraphs work best.
  7. Include a small biography for the footer of your post. You may include up to three links to your website or other media outlets.
  8. We reserve the right to edit/cut/reject your post before publishing, to help it fit with the voice and image of OBB and OASHF.

*Some of the guideline were based off this great post on the AmeriCorps Alums website, and Heather Huhman.
