Contributor Guidelines

Great Living Today
Blog & Newsletter

We’re so glad you’re here. Our blog and newsletter are spaces for encouragement, growth, and real talk about what it means to evolve—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. We invite writers, coaches, seekers, and everyday people to share their insight, inspiration, and tools for conscious living.

If you’re drawn to writing about self-improvement and personal development with a spark of the Law of Attraction (if it suits you), please review our contribution guidelines below:

What We’re Looking For
We welcome original articles, blog posts, stories, and reflections that explore:

  • Personal growth journeys and transformation stories
  • Mindset, motivation, and resilience
  • Emotional wellness and self-care
  • Law of Attraction practices (vision boards, manifestation, affirmations, energy work, etc.)
  • Spiritual insights that are inclusive and practical
  • Goal setting, productivity, and time management with soul
  • Shadow work, healing, and inner child support
  • Tips for raising vibration or shifting your frequency
  • Journaling prompts, meditations, or reflection exercises
  • Tools for balance, peace, and joy in everyday life

Tone & Style
We want pieces that feel authentic, encouraging, and accessible—like a wise, supportive friend. Whether your tone is poetic or practical, here are some key vibes to aim for:

  • Positive, but not performative. We honor real emotions and real growth.
  • Empowering, not preachy. Invite and inspire, don’t instruct or shame.
  • Spiritual, but grounded. Law of Attraction and energetic principles are welcome, but keep them relatable and inclusive.
  • Clear and well-written. Keep your ideas focused, easy to follow, and typo-free.

Our readers range from beginners to seasoned seekers—speak to both with warmth and clarity.
