You can send us content you've written, content that someone has written for you, or third-party content like a blog post or article that says great things about your work. More than anything else, our readers want to read interesting content, so please make sure that the articles you submit are just that-interesting!

• News articles
• Blog posts
• Press releases
• Product/service reviews

Whatever you submit, please make sure it focuses on readable, enjoyable content-a straight sales page or contact form won't work, even if your CEO loves it. Readers enjoy and recommend interesting articles more than boring ones, and the more interesting your article is to our readers, the more likely OutLoud is to show it on more pages.

We reserve the right to reject any content we deem unacceptable, at our sole discretion, and our publisher partners may choose not to display individual articles that we have accepted.

• is pornographic
• promotes hate, violence or discrimination
• facilitates the sale of weapons
• facilitates participation in any illegal activity (including but not limited to prostitution, the use or sale of illegal drugs, and the illegal downloading of movies or music)

By default, we display the title of the article as a link, but we reserve the right to modify the titles to better describe the content itself.

Sure, but if the author was paid to write the content (or received free products or services), that relationship must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed-burying it in a footer or FAQ page is insufficient. In addition, the content must not employ misleading techniques, including but not limited to:

• Using trademarks/logos of known brands without their express permission
• Hosting the content on a domain that makes users believe a news organization has written it (when they haven't)
• Using fake comments at the bottom of the content that appear to be from actual individuals; if comments appear, comment functionality must exist to allow additional comments

Note: If you use personal testimonials, they must represent the true and honest opinion of a real person who is not affiliated with you, or whose connection to you is clearly and conspicuously disclosed, and may not contain claims that you cannot substantiate. Again, the main thing is that as long as the content is interesting and unlikely to mislead readers, we want it in OutLoud!

Articles will usually be reviewed by our real live human editors within two business days of submission.

Definitely. You will receive an email listing any rejected articles, along with the reason for their rejection. If an article is rejected, you will not be charged for it.
