Home / Authors / Submissions

• Life As A Human invites submissions that illuminate the human experience. Submissions may take the form of writing, multimedia, works of art, photography or podcasts.
• Contributors can be from anywhere in the world, but all submissions must be in English for the time being.
• Submissions do not have to cover just one subject; however, there should be an umbrella theme that provides unity to the posts. Posts where users detail their day-to-day lives should be written to have broad appeal.
• Titles should be short and speak directly to the content of your piece. Lead paragraphs should be strong and to the point — do not bury your leads.
• We encourage you to submit photos or illustrations with your submissions but please be sure they are original works, Creative Commons, or that you have written permission from the artist to use the works. Please provide the copyright details to us, including a link to the source, as we will be providing credits for everything we publish. For example: Steven Hawking Photo © Public Domain – http://tinyurl.com/ybo8d5u
• Posts in excess of 800 words must be strong enough to retain readers’ interest or will be subject to editing or rejected outright.

Respect for Human Rights

• We do not accept submissions that contain adult content, and/or content that is overtly commercial, racist, sexist or slanderous. We retain the right to reject content that contains language we consider abusive.

Being Original

• Plagiarism is never o.k. Except for properly referenced quotations, all writing must be in your own words.

Spelling & Grammar

• Please proofread carefully. Articles full of errors will not be accepted.

How to Submit Your Work for Consideration

• Please send a minimum of three sample posts or links to posts to submissions@lifeasahuman.com
• Include your full name, a brief biography (max. 200 words) and an email address where we may reach you as well as a link to your current blog(s) if you have one. While you may wish to use a pseudonym for your own blog, we do require your actual name for correspondence and publication at Life As A Human.
• If you have any questions concerning submission guidelines or publication, contact the editor at submissions@lifeasahuman.com
• Thank you for taking the time to read this. We look forward to reviewing your submissions! We will contact you within 14 days at the email address you have provided.

Life As A Human retains the right at its sole discretion to reject submissions.
