The

site draws an average of
50,000 visitors each month. The readership and visitors
includes Internet newbies, seasoned professionals, and
people everywhere in between, visiting the site from around

Women
of Wisdom®
readers are smart, thinking women (and men) who seek
information to help them in their day-to-day lives from
running a business to balancing their lives. They're looking
for practical, specific information, solutions, and ideas. Women
of Wisdom® visitors come from a variety of
backgrounds, environments and experiences and want to be
able to quickly ascertain whether the material can apply to
them.
3. Do I have to be a member of
the
Women of Wisdom® Faculty
to submit?
We
accept submissions from our faculty members and visitors
alike. However,
we do suggest you browse our article database to get a feel
for the types of articles we currently have posted as well
as to see if there are areas not currently covered which you
can address.
4.
How are submission
evaluated?
When
submitting an article keep in mind the following:
●
The subject matter should be of interest to the
readers.
●
The subject matter should fit into an existing topic
area. We do
however accept suggestions for new topic areas not currently
covered and may include if we feel it would be of interest
to our readers and visitors.
●
There is a need for the information you have to offer
or is it a topic that has not been covered extensively in
the existing article database
●
your article offers a different slant on a topic
already in our database or it supplement current data.
●
The article contains a clear introduction, body and
conclusion.
●
The article is written in a positive manner, is well
developed and easy to read and comprehend.
5.
In what format should I submit my articles and
supplemental materials?
Your
article can be submitted in plain text, as a word document
or in PDF format. We
prefer word documents simply because they are easier to post
to the site, however, we are willing to review those in
other formats. You may submit your articles in any typeface
as we will apply our own site specific formatting to the
article. Keep in
mind that anything other than plain text may take longer to
review and post simply because we receive dozens of
submissions weekly which are easier to post. Supplemental
materials such as graphs and charts are encouraged as a link
back to the origin (not as an attachment).
The
article should be submitted via email to heidi@speakingwithspirit.com
in the BODY of
the email message. Unless
requested by Women of Wisdom®,
we will not accept articles submitted as attachments to any
email message. The
subject line should say “Article for Women
of Wisdom®.” Also
include which suggested topic area your article should be
posted to. If the topic area is not suggested we reserve the
right to post your submission to the topic area we feel most
appropriate. If
we cannot discern from your article which area is most
suitable, your article stands a good chance of not being
accepted.

How long should the article
be?
Most
of the articles we post range from 500 to 2,000 words in
length. If your
article is more than 2,000 words, consider making it a
two-part series and then submit.
If your article is less than 500 words, we may still
consider it as a news brief or article brief and use in an
issue of our newsletter or as a member “tips.”
6.
What is the timeframe for publishing my article(s)?
If
your article is accepted, we will notify you via email and
you can expect your article to be posted within 5 days to 3
months. In some cases such as redesign or construction on
the website, the time frame could be longer or shorter. If
your article is time-critical, please state that in your
email message and if the article is relevant to our readers
and visitors we will do our best to expedite posting.

article?
Yes,
however, we prefer you submit them one at a time.

like to make available to the readers.

are happy to feature and promote any items that would be of
benefit to our readers, visitors and members such as a free
e-book, e-course, tele-class or special report.
Members’ resources however take precedence when
considering these types for inclusion. We cannot guarantee
