Now, on to the guidelines for writing Guest Posts for the TILL HE COMES blog.
CONTENT
At TILL HE COMES, we seek to bring Scripture and Theology to Life. This means that your post should explain a Scripture passage or theological topic in a fresh way which challenges the status quo, or applies the truth of to life in a fresh way. Cultural background studies and historical insights into Scripture and theology which bring new perspectives on familiar topics are also welcome.
Ultimately, we want posts that make people say, “Wow. I never saw it that way before!”
If you are not sure you want to write about Scripture and theology, we also accept personal stories of how God has led you into unexpected directions, new areas of mission and ministry, or taught you something you never imagined you would believe.
If you can write a post in one of these areas, read on for the submission guidelines.
Note: We do not accept any sort of product advertisements or sponsored posts.
GUIDELINES
Your post must be original and not previously published either on the Web or in print. You can, of course, rework something you have published elsewhere, as long as you provide a link to the original source so I can compare the two articles.
You agree not to publish your post anywhere else, including your own blog or Web site. You still retain the full rights to your content, but since search engines frown on duplicate content, we do not want your post to appear in multiple locations.
Once your post goes live here, you may publish a summary of your post on your site that invites your readers to interact with the post here.
You may provide up to four byline links: one for your blog or Website, and one each for Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.
Your post should be at least 300 words long and no more than 800 words.

EDITING
I might perform some minor edits on your post for grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. In the unlikely event that I make substantive changes, I will email the post back to you for your approval before posting.
I might also provide a short introduction or conclusion to your post to provide context or the rationale as to why I think the post is important. I will make sure that my comments are set off from yours stylistically, so that my readers are clear that these are mine and not yours.
I will always add at least one picture to the post as well. If you have a picture you would like to see included, please send it with the email, or provide an exact link to where the image can be found. Make sure any images you send are not under Copyright.
DISCLAIMER
I understand the work that it takes to write a blog post. However, the fact that you have written a post and submitted it to me does not obligate me to publish it. The only guest posts I will publish are those that in my sole judgment add value to my readers.
Furthermore, if I do not approve your guest post, I will not explain why I did not approve it or provide any detail. This would take more time than I can afford.
SUBMISSIONS
If your post meets the above guidelines:
Please email the post to me for consideration. I will respond with a “yes” or “no” within one week. Please put your post in the body of the email rather than as an attachment. Send it to: jmyers AT tillhecomes.org
Please confirm that you are willing to respond and interact with the people who comment on your post. This is mandatory for all my Guest Posters.
If I reject your post, you are obviously free to do whatever you want with it, including publishing it elsewhere.
