The Essentials for Every Article We Publish
- We want to hear your heart through transparency and vulnerability.
- Article content will help us illuminate a Christ-centered path to hope and freedom from bondage.
- We desire original content and will not re-publish anything that's been published elsewhere.
- Please avoid sharing potentially triggering numbers, such as weight, clothing size, calories, workout details, etc., and potentially triggering details of your eating disorder.
- Please do not promote or link your business or personal website in the body of the post.
Article Release Schedule
Blog articles will be released twice a month on alternating Mondays with new episodes of the Old School Food Freedom podcast.
Article Submission Frequency
We hope you will write and submit at least one blog article every 2 months, but more submissions give us more choices! This will enable a surplus of articles to choose from.
The FREEdom Blog Editor will determine which articles are released and when, so your submission may not be posted immediately.
Article Content
Topic(s)
You have a powerful story to tell and experience to share! We are interested in hearing your heart when you write, whether that's:
- how God helped you overcome a struggle
- a hope for recovery
- a challenge you're in with food or body image
- an event that impacted your eating or body image recovery, whether a "win" or "challenge" (wedding, church event, counselor/therapist appointment where you heard helpful recovery advice that changed your focus or direction, or something God showed you).
You may be dealing with pain and recovery, having a large family that helps or challenges your recovery, having a family that sometimes complicates your recovery with busy schedules and weekends of boy-energy.
No matter what you write about, always leave your reader with Jesus' HOPE. We want to illuminate a path to hope and His love for us.
Additions
You can include a quote, a Bible verse, or a song. Please be sure you cite the source and Bible version (NKJV, NIV, ESV, etc.).
Author Credit
We prefer you use your full name, or initials in cases where you are writing about something personal that you prefer not to have your full name attached to it. "Anonymous" is acceptable in cases where privacy is of utmost concern, as long as our FREEdom Blog Editor knows who you are.
Article Length
Please keep articles to around 500 words in length or 2500 characters including spaces. This doesn't mean if you write a short post or a lengthy one, it's not going to be used. Submit and we'll go from there.
Editing
- For consistency, and to reduce editing time, please single space between sentences.
- Write "Jesus", "He", "His", and any "sacred" names with a capital letter; some people claim "He" doesn't need to be capitalized for Jesus or God, we feel it deserves the highest respect.
- Our desire is to post articles as they are without much change or major edits. We want YOU to show, and for the FINDINGbalance FREEdom Blog to represent many voices and writing styles, and not look like every one of us is the same. However, grammar, punctuation, and misspellings will be corrected, and some posts will be shortened or edited for clarity.
