feeling creative?

FEELING CREATIVE? is a community hub built for and by creative professionals. Our mission is to be a genuine creative space for creative people to guest post and build valuable connections for free (without any politics or ads). A blog to share the stories, strategies, art and inspiration that fuel the creative world. We believe the best insights come from those who are actively creating, and we're looking for passionate experts to share their knowledge with our audience and hopefully inspire others.

If you're a creator of any kind…an artist, an advertiser, a designer, a filmmaker, a musician, a photographer, a writer, a performing artist…we'd love to hear from you.

WRITE FOR US!

What We're Looking For

We want to inspire creativity. We are looking for contributors who can provide in-depth, valuable, and creative content. We want to see your real-world experience, your hard-won lessons, your unique creative voice, your inspiration, and of course your creations. Our goal is to publish content that helps other creatives level up their craft and career, and of course…to help get your work out into the world.

Two Ways to Contribute

1. In-Depth Articles: This is for writers, strategists, and experts who want to share their knowledge or tell their stories in a detailed, long-form post.

· Topics: The topic can be anything, as long as it comes from a creative place. This can also include related tech (news and reviews), the business end of things and history.

· Depth: According to the “experts”, the most successful articles are comprehensive and at least 1,200 words. This allows for a true deep-dive into a topic. This is not a rule, but more of a suggestion….1,200 seems like a lot, 600+ is a good place to start.

· Originality: We ask that all submissions are original and not published anywhere else, if possible.

· Our AI Policy: We get it, writing can be hard, but we want to hear YOUR voice. AI writing tools are great for research and outlines, but make it your own…please don’t just copy and paste an obvious AI article. The goal of this site is to encourage creative people to create.

2. The "Creator Spotlight": This is perfect for visual artists…photographers, illustrators, 3D artists, filmmakers, performing artists and musicians, who want to showcase a specific piece of work without writing a full article.

To be featured in our Creator Spotlight, please submit the following:

· Your Work: An image, or images, or a link to a video or audio track.

· A Title for your piece or project.

· An Artist's Statement (150+ words): Tell us the story behind your work. What was your inspiration? What tools or techniques did you use? What challenges did you overcome?

· A Brief Bio about you and what you do.

What You Get in Return: the payoff

In return for your contribution, your post will include:

  • An author bio.

  • One “dofollow” link to your personal portfolio, website, or online store.

  • Links to your social media profiles.

We will add your post to our bi-weekly newsletter and promote it across our social media channels

you agree to…

In return for publishing your article, we have a few favors to ask. You agree to sign up for our newsletter and follow our social media pages (all can be found on the bottom section of this site). After your article is published here, we ask that you share the link across your social media pages (and include #feelingcreativeblog where possible). If you want to re-post the article elsewhere, like on your own blog or sites like Medium, you agree to wait at least 2 weeks to do so, and you recognize this site as the “original source”. We ask that you add a simple line at the top or bottom of the article that says, "This article was originally published on FEELING CREATIVE?" with a link back to the original article here. This is the best SEO practice for both of our sites. AND…you agree to help spread the word about FEELING CREATIVE? and invite you creative friends.
