What we look for:
Articles submitted for consideration should be of interest to readers in the following sections: full list of sections have a tone that is appropriate for BeAKid.com, and be written by a person, not a PR department or Chat GPT. We like articles that introduce new ideas and advance conversations around topics and trends that engage our readers—think in the style of an op-ed rather than content marketing. We look for lively, polished writing that balances research or news with fun and memorable anecdotes or examples that help illustrate your point of view.
While we encourage drawing from your own experiences in child education and upbringing to support your ideas, over-the-top self-promotion (of yourself or your company) will prevent us from publishing your article. The same goes for dense jargon, abstract and heavily politicized, blanket assertions. Our goal is to address parenting from every background, political belief, social status, or religious group.
Please no pitches, abstracts, outlines, press releases, or interview offers.BeAKid prefers submissions from contributors who are leaders in and knowledgeable about the types of experiences and keyword topics we regularly cover, especially if there’s a salient takeaway for other professionals.
Submitted articles should generally be between 400 and 900 words. We cannot offer to pay for contributed stories, but if they’re engaging to read and useful to our audience, we will energetically promote them, just like any other story that runs on our site. You can also include your social media links to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc..Send via email complete, unpublished articles only, intended strictly for BeAKid to partnerships at beakid dot com. Please no pitches, abstracts, outlines, press releases, or interview offers. And please no phone calls.
What to expect if we accept:
Submissions are reviewed approximately once a week, and the process is selective. Due to high volumes, we’re unable to respond to all submissions. If you don’t receive a response within one week of submitting, it’s safe to assume that your piece was not selected for publication. Following up will not speed our review or improve the likelihood of a story’s acceptance. We’re unable to give feedback about why a submission may not have been selected for publication.
For stories we do choose to publish:
- All articles are subject to editing.
- Headlines and subheads are subject to change.
- Content may be edited for style, tone, or substance.
- Links may be added for context.
- Art will be added at the discretion of BeAKid staff.
- Articles may or may not be promoted across BeAKid’s family of sites, on our home page, in our newsletters, and via our social feeds.
BeAKid requests that contributed articles remain exclusive to our site for three to five business days, after which time they may be reprinted in part or in full on other sites, with a link back to the original article on BeAKid.com To repurpose or use BeAKid articles for commercial purposes, please contact MV Licensing.
