Write for Your Super Essay: Guest Submission Guidelines
We’re always looking for guest writers who actually know what it’s like to wrestle with an argumentative thesis or fix a citation nightmare. If you’re a current or former college student, a tutor, or just someone who’s figured out how to get through Poli Sci without losing your mind, we want to hear from you.
What we cover
Our site focuses on three things: essay writing, academic help, and student life. That’s it. We don’t run listicles about “10 ways to wake up earlier” or generic productivity fluff. We want concrete advice on structuring a body paragraph, handling counterarguments, choosing sources, formatting APA vs. MLA, and navigating the real stress of deadlines and burnout. If you’ve got a guide, a troubleshooting piece, or a personal story that teaches a practical lesson, pitch it.
Topic requirements
- Must be directly useful to college students writing papers or managing their workload.
- No motivational pep talks. Show the method, not the cheerleading.
- Cite real examples from your own work or common student errors.
- Keep it under 1,200 words unless you’ve got a deep dive we can’t resist.
Formatting rules
We keep it simple. Send a Google Doc or plain text file. Use H2 and H3 subheadings to break up sections, but don’t overdo it. No footnotes or endnotes — just inline citations with hyperlinks to reliable sources (we use Purdue OWL, university style guides, or peer-reviewed journals). Also, avoid academic jargon. Your reader is tired and stressed. Write like you’re explaining it to a friend over coffee.
Editorial review process
Once you submit, I read it myself within two weeks. We’ll edit for clarity and accuracy, not voice. If something’s off — a weak claim, a missing step, a citation that doesn’t check out — I’ll email you with specific notes. No ghost edits. You get to approve the final version. If we can’t agree on changes, we don’t publish it. No hard feelings.
Before you pitch, skim a few of our published posts. You’ll see the tone: direct, lean, and built around what actually works in a dorm room at 2 a.m. If that’s your style, send a paragraph pitch and a brief bio to [email protected].
