We’re opening the Freelance Jungle website to freelance guest blogger submissions. You can opt to share that one-off story you’ve got burning a hole in your writerly mind. Or you can be a regular freelance guest blogger on a monthly or quarterly timetable. The choice is yours.
If you have got a way with words or want to share that big freelance brain of yours in tantalising blog-sized chunks, you’ve come to the right place!
The Freelance Jungle is always looking for fun, informative, relevant and useful blogs that other freelancers can use.
Guidelines for our freelance guest blogger submissions:
· We accept original content only. So please do not submit blogs you have published elsewhere or content you’ve nicked off someone else.
· Our audience is Australia and New Zealand. We’re after content from the ANZ region as a priority.
· All submissions need to be in UK English (Australian strine is also acceptable. We also accept blogs in Australian Indigenous language as long as it comes with translation).
· We’re for freelancers by freelancers. Please understand that we’re looking for freelance guest blogger content and not companies looking to reach freelance audiences. If you are a company looking to share blog content, please contact us for our media kit via info (at) freelancejungle (dot) com (dot) au
· Blogs need to be written in a web-friendly way. You can DOWNLOAD THIS HANDY BLOGGING TEMPLATE.

The key is relevance and ensuring the content shared adds value to the freelancing journey.
What we won’t accept:
· Press releases in any format
· Blatant self-promotion, advertorials or thinly veiled marketing content
· While the Freelance Jungle contains a lot of parents and digital nomads, this is not a parenting and/or travel blog. Relevance to freelancing is paramount
· Any content that is sexist, racist, homophobic, ableist and/or otherwise mock, humiliate or shame members of the Freelance Jungle community
· Blogs that are designed to divide and create anger for the specific purpose of creating agitation
Yes, would love to be a guest blogger.
I could perhaps write about my transition from Science teacher to Freelance SEO copywriter?
