Submission Guidelines

First, thanks for even considering posting your experiences and testimony to the UnBlog!

There are several topics we’d like to address in the future here on the UnBlog, and would love to have your thoughts on them! Here’s how:

GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

1. Review the detailed instructions and list of upcoming UnBlog topics (below).
2. Note the “Submissions Accepted” and “Submissions Deadline” dates (which can and most likely will change, without notice).
3. Understand that any submission before or after its designated dates will be discarded.
4. Now that you have the background, contemplate what you’d like to say.
5. We will consider your submission to be owned by you, yet permitted to be published on UnBlogMySoul. It may be copied, transmitted and used for private, non-commercial, non-public purposes, or for personal research, church talks or lessons. Those in doubt should contact the original author of the work.

WRITE YOUR CONTENT

• Write your submission. Prayerfully seek the guidance of the Spirit as to which personal spiritual experiences you should share, and how others might be able to benefit from knowledge of that experience.
• Better: Integrate scriptures.
• Even better: Bear your testimony, too!
• If you have a link to a picture or YouTube video, include the link web address (URL) so we can find it.
• Be careful using other’s names unless you want them discovered.
• Save your work! There’s nothing quite as frustrating as writing a lot of cool stuff, only to see your computer freeze and you lose it all.

IDENTIFY YOURSELF

Preferably, your submission should enable others to reach out to you personally, without having to go through UnBlog administrators. Many will want to thank you or ask you personal follow-up questions which might be inappropriate for posting as an online comment.

• If possible, include your real name and an e-mail address (First names are OK, spam e-mail addresses are wise, too) at the bottom of your post.
• If you’re very uncomfortable even sharing your first name, say you’re anonymous and explain why.
• If you’re very uncomfortable with publicly sharing your e-mail address (even a spam e-mail address of your’s), explain why.

SUBMIT

• Double check and make sure you’re submitting your article in between the “Accepted” and “Deadline” dates.
• Know that when you submit, you are also telling us that you’ve read, understood and agreed with all the guidelines on this page.
• TO SUBMIT: Click the “Contact” tab (above). Give us your name, e-mail address and then copy and paste your submission into the “Comment/Question” field. DO NOT SUBMIT VIA COMMENTS!

AFTER SUBMITTING

• Please avoid the temptation to ask if we received your submission. The Contact page’s form works pretty well, so just assume we did.
• The UnBlog reserves the right to edit for grammar, spelling and punctuation without your permission. Deeper edits, of course, will go through you as needed. We also reserve the right to post a portion, even a summary, of your submission. If so, we will try our level best to post as much of it as we can.
• Please please, don’t take it personally if we post only a portion your submission, or not at all. Most likely, it was because of the sheer volume of submissions we received, or there may have been something that didn’t resonate with us. We can’t (and won’t) explain our reasons to each and every one who wasn’t published, so just understand that if you don’t see your submission posted, again, don’t take it personally and we sincerely hope you’ll submit again.
• The topic will be posted within a month after its Submission Deadline.
• If you have an idea for a future UnBlog topic, please use the “Contact” page and let us know!  🙂
