BE A CONTRIBUTOR

Are you an aspiring writer ready to build your portfolio and have your voice heard? Connected Woman Magazine is always looking for passionate guest contributors who want to share real stories, fresh perspectives, and meaningful insight with a community of women who value connection and growth. Whether you’re writing about beauty, careers, faith, motherhood, business, finance, entertainment, health, spirit, inspiration, or DIY topics like home and garden, we welcome content that informs, uplifts, and resonates. This is your space to write with purpose, grow your visibility, and connect with readers who are eager to learn from your journey. While we are always seeking new contributors, it does not guarantee contributor or article acceptance.

Submissions should be:

• Original works for CW Magazine (not previously published or excerpts) double-spaced in WORD format. Spell-checked and thoroughly reviewed and edited. We are not interested in rough drafts.
• Email submissions only via email or Dropbox.
• Authors retain rights but please credit us as original publisher if your work is republished.
• Your article title and name in the subject heading.
• First-time submissions should be submitted with a short bio for yourself and photo (hi-res preferred)

*These are non-compensation based roles

*We do not accept bio based articles as article contributions. Please utilize the feature options for other ways to be featured.

CWM welcomes niche guest and featured contributors. 

• Level 1 Contributor – No set schedule or one-time contributor.
• Level 2  Contributor – Contributes weekly or Monthly but on no particular date.
• Level 3 Contributor – Contributes weekly or Monthly on set date each week/month.

Would you like to be a guest contributor? We are always seeking guest contributors for our site. Whether it’s a one-time article or a regular column type contributor we would love to have you. You can submit once a week or once a year. There is no schedule.

Our basic expectations for contributors include:

• Be consistent/reliable-VERY IMPORTANT!
• Have a schedule
• Keep us informed of schedule changes etc. We don’t want to chase you for articles.

If you know you cannot adhere to a pre-scheduled submission calendar, then please do not sign up for that level of contributor involvement. We understand things may change but please keep us voluntarily informed as a courtesy.

What do our readers look like?  Women: 80%+ of our audience is female. Age: 69%+ of our audience is 25-54. Location: 65% of our audience is in the United States.

All submissions must be your own original work—written by you, not copied, borrowed, or repurposed from other sources. We take this seriously, as we have encountered plagiarism before, and any non-original content is not welcome. For visuals, we typically pair articles with curated stock images; however, you are absolutely welcome to submit your own branded title card or image (featuring your photo, name, or logo) if you’d like your piece to have a more personalized and cohesive look.

Before submitting, we encourage you to visit the Connected Woman Magazine website and explore our blog to get a true feel for our voice, content, and community. Take a moment to read a few articles, engage with the stories, and make sure your writing aligns with our vibe—authentic, empowering, and connection-driven. We’re looking for contributors who don’t just write well, but who genuinely resonate with the heart of what we do.

By submitting your Articles, you agree that Connected Woman Magazine has the full right to publish your articles in Connected Woman Magazine and that you are the author of your submission. We ask that all articles be original to Connected Woman Magazine and not submitted to other publications, past or current (unless Blog feature).

Please do not send us excerpts/duplicates of your written works unless requested for special promotions. No image submission is needed or requested with your article but if you have an image you would like to use then send with your submission (must be hi-resolution and usage approved from source). We want articles that are engaging and interesting on topics of interest to our target audience of women. In general, they must be professionally written and proofed for errors in grammar and spelling etc. prior to submission.

While we do not provide a written style guide that applies to every writer we ask that you use your best judgement in representing yourself and the magazine online or on paper.  Develop your writing style and be confident in your writing.

Plan your editorial calendar. Know when new articles are due and make it apart of your schedule and meeting your deadline will become a part of your submission obligation. Set a tone with your writing that aligns with CWM, women (or girls) and your niche area of interest/expertise.

CWM does not want to stifle your writing style so while we have no length maximums, articles of 500-800 words are great. It’s really about the flow of the article from beginning to end so please read your finished product to yourself to ensure you are making the point you want to convey.

Please send all complete submissions or general submission questions in a professional email to info@alegnamediasuite.com. Please include your full bio (or link thereto), your website url (if business related) and a short message why you want to contribute to CWM and its readers. Please do not email us without following directives on this page or to approve individual articles.

We do not guarantee response to incomplete submissions. Your provided photo will be added to your bio information and you will be credited as author of each submission.

• After three submissions, you will be reviewed for their own upgraded page.  Must have web presence/able to verify identity. We do not wish to feature people using “aliases” or stock photos to shield their identity. Please have at least a basic social media platform/ website/blog/facebook business page or aboutme page of your own to direct readers to for your other work or for more information on you.

*do not include third-party affiliate links/ads in articles but you may link back to posts/products etc. on your own website

Don’t forget! Send your article in WORD format and include your name and title as you want it listed. Also, send us a short bio and any website/social media links we can add to your profile. If you are submitting for a client, be sure to include the preferred email address to associate with their contributor profile. Lastly, send us a high-resolution photo.  Be sure to have all items before starting your submission. We can’t wait to hear from you!

1. Are there any submission fees to contribute?

No. Connected Woman Magazine does not charge submission fees for individuals interested in contributing original articles or editorial content. We believe in providing a platform where women can share their knowledge, experiences, perspectives, and expertise without the financial burden of paying to contribute. Whether you are an established writer, entrepreneur, industry professional, or someone with a meaningful story to tell, we welcome submissions that align with our mission of informing, inspiring, and connecting women. All submissions are subject to editorial review and approval.

2. Are AI-assisted articles allowed?

Yes. Connected Woman Magazine recognizes that artificial intelligence has become a valuable resource in the writing and content development process. We welcome articles created with AI assistance for brainstorming, research organization, editing, and refining content. However, contributors are expected to ensure that their submissions reflect authentic perspectives, accurate information, originality, and a genuine human voice. Contributors remain fully responsible for fact-checking, verifying sources, and ensuring that their articles do not contain plagiarized, misleading, or fabricated information. We value thoughtful storytelling and meaningful contributions over generic, mass-produced content.

3. Is there any compensation for contributing?

No. At this time, Connected Woman Magazine does not offer monetary compensation for contributed articles or editorial submissions. Contributing is a voluntary opportunity for writers, entrepreneurs, professionals, and women with valuable perspectives to share their voices with a broader audience. While contributions are unpaid, published contributors have the opportunity to gain exposure, establish credibility, share their expertise, and connect with readers who may benefit from their experiences or professional knowledge. We encourage contributors to view this opportunity as a platform for meaningful visibility, authentic engagement, and community connection rather than a paid writing assignment.

4. Can articles be submitted by third parties on behalf of PR clients?

Yes. Connected Woman Magazine welcomes article submissions from public relations professionals, publicists, agencies, and other authorized representatives submitting content on behalf of their clients. We understand the importance of helping women entrepreneurs, authors, executives, creatives, and industry experts share their stories and professional insights with relevant audiences. However, submissions must align with our editorial focus and provide genuine value to our readers rather than serve solely as promotional advertisements. Third-party representatives are responsible for ensuring they have their clients’ authorization to submit content and that all information is accurate, original, and properly attributed. Submission does not guarantee publication, and all content remains subject to editorial review, approval, and scheduling at the discretion of Connected Woman Magazine.
