Prospective Authors

PLEASE READ – Important stuff to know and will save a lot of questions. :)

The contact form at the bottom of this page is only for inquiry from prospective contributing authors.

Because of time constraints I cannot answer personal email asking for help. I am, also, not qualified to give legal, psychological or medical advice. I’m like a friend sharing her perspective and insights. Think of this blog as a BIG kitchen table with lots of tea and honey…and chocolate. The thoughts I would share with you are spread throughout the posts on this blog and as comments to other contributors’ posts.

However, if you have a situation for which you’d like specific feedback or just some wisdom from lessons learned you’d like to share, I encourage you to submit your story as an article and receive comments on it. Use the contact form on this page to let me know you’d like to do this.

If you’re a member of this blog, your USERNAME and associated email address will be automatically filled in the appropriate spaces of the contact form. If you’re not a registered member, please register now. I need a user name and associated email address in order to publish your article. :)

Do not use this contact form to submit your article! I’m not sure if there’s a word limit to the form, and I don’t want to restrict you or get only a partial submission.

After I receive your initial inquiry through this contact form, I’ll send you an email address where you can submit your full article. It might take a few days to receive the link, because I manually send it, but you should receive an immediate auto reply to let you know your request did make it to me.

In sending your article, please be mindful not to submit any copyrighted material that is not yours, unless it falls under fair use with credit to the author, or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Always give credit where credit is due.

It’s possible I may ask you to revise your article, if appropriate, or I may edit the article, not for content or meaning, but for grammar or length. If I do so, I’ll send it back to you for your final approval before publishing it.

Once you’ve published your first article/post (congratulations!) then I will upgrade your member status from subscriber to contributor. That means not only will you get all the accolades and glory :) but when you log in you’ll be able to create more articles/posts right there in your account, and submit them for publication.

This will enable you to write more articles, post links or videos (feature coming soon) regarding the topic of this blog and share your thoughts on them! Cool, huh? And it’s an option to write more — not a requirement.

Whatever additional posts you submit will still have to go through me before publishing to circumvent multiple postings on the same day and none on the next, and to make sure every post on this blog is appropriate and relevant to its topic.

So this is the place to start. Use the below contact form to let me know you’re interested in being a Contributing Author, and I’ll get back to you.

But please be patient.

I’m homeschooling my 8th grade daughter, work full-time and have two adorable grandkids. Plus I’m trying to make time for my own writing and music. So I may not get back to you right away, but I will as soon as I can.

And don’t forget to read the Conduct and Disclaimer page if you haven’t already. :)

Your participation on this blog signifies you’ve read and agreed to the conditions set forth therein.

Thank you for your willingness to share!

From my heart to yours ~
Demian Yumei
