Submitting Your Writing To Everything Cloth

Interested in Being a Featured Writer for Everything Cloth?

We are looking for fresh, original pieces of writing that can be informative, humorous, anecdotal, or helpful. Articles can be of varying lengths. We accept pieces that have not yet been published (or have only been self-published on your own blog or website). We encourage you to write in your own style and voice. Articles will be professionally proofread and edited before being published on Everything Cloth. Authors will always be fully credited with their own work, and a small biography and link to the author's website(s) can be attached at the end of the article. Adding a small photo of yourself or your logo is also optional.

Writing an article and submitting it for publication at Everything Cloth is a great way to:
- network with other parents
- gain a sense of pride in your own writing and life experiences
- promote your own website, blog, or product
