Guest Post Gudelines

My blog is now open to guest posts from SFF readers, writers, fans, and enthusiasts!

What I’m looking for

I’m looking for articles, essays, think pieces, and list posts in the 800 – 2,000 word range on the topics of:

• Science fiction and fantasy books
• Science fiction and fantasy tropes
• Geek culture
• Science and technology
• Profile of famous SFF artists, authors, editors
• Pieces of SFF history
• Origin stories of fantasy and scifi icons

The target audience for the blog is science fiction and fantasy readers. I’m not interested in any posts on writing or the craft of writing. Pitches on those topics will be rejected outright.

Article examples

To give you an idea, here are a couple examples of blog posts written with SFF readers in mind on this blog:

• The Best Matrix Fan Theories
• The Physics of Transporters and Quantum Teleportation
• 5 Soundtrack Artists of Science Fiction and their Inspirations

Also, I would be happy to publish almost anything that would be appropriate for an SFF reader-focused blog like Tor.com.

How to submit

Send your ideas to matt@mgherron.com. Put “Guest post idea: [Your idea here]” in the title of the email and your pitch in the body of the email.

I don’t recommend writing the article ahead of time. Just in case it’s not a good fit.

Once the idea is approved, I’ll let you know how to submit the article and all other necessary information for publication.

I will serve as the content and copyeditor for the piece.

Feel free to email me questions if you have them.

Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon.

– Matt / M.G. Herron
