I’m currently accepting weekly guest posts from writers on several topics.

Please read the guidelines carefully. If you’re not sure if what you have fits the requests, you can always contact us*. If you haven’t heard from us in 4 weeks, then your article is not right for us. Thanks!

We (my editorial assistant or I) generally get back to submissions within a week or two.

*Yes, I’m asking you to write for “us” because Us is all of us! My goal is to spark a conversation about these topics and to enhance our lives with positive role models.

Kick Ass Heroines in Science Fiction & Fantasy posts

Inspired by the kinds of stories I want to read and the kind of stories I write, and encouraged by Geena Davis’ mission to change “female portrayals and gender stereotypes in children’s media and entertainment,” I’m requesting articles that feature Kick Ass heroines in science fiction and fantasy for adults and teens.

Check out previous posts on this blog to see what I’ve featured already.

Who you are: You write science fiction and fantasy for adults or teens and feature a kick ass heroine* as your main character in your novels or short stories (not just as secondary characters). Your stories are available for sale. Both independent or traditionally published authors welcome.

NOTE: I do not accept articles from individuals wanting to post articles for SEO or SEO firms.

*I’m specifically looking for kick ass heroines, who use their physical abilities, in addition to their smarts, to help them navigate the story.

Focus: A nonfiction post about Kick Ass Heroines in your work of fantasy/science fiction and the work of others. What are some characteristics of kick ass heroines? What are the challenges of a kick ass heroine? What is it like to write one?

Details: 500-750 words. Include a 35-50 word bio, your buy links, your book cover, and your picture.

Extras: You can do a giveaway/blog tour stop in coordination with your post.

*I reserve the right to edit for grammar and clarity.
*I market all posts via Facebook, Twitter and my blog subscribers, and encourage you to do the same. Thanks!
*All rights of the articles belong to the respective authors.
