Accepted journalistic features explore topics in-depth and include references with word counts ranging between1500 to 2500. Word count for other types of submissions are generally 1000 or less, although interviews may be any length. 
• Personal stories from parents about their everyday parenting journeys are welcome with word counts ranging 300 to 600.

Selection and editorial process

• Content is reviewed on a continual basis 
• Content goes through a structured editorial review process for content relevance and clarity
• Due to the high volume of submissions, our desire to nurture a diverse community of expression, and our preference on occasion to designate particular articles for observances or series means that accepted content may not be published immediately but scheduled at the discretion of the editor.

Use

• Accepted content may appear in one or multiple of our publications or products, at or near the time of original publication or at future dates according to publication needs.

Compensation

• We provide publications as a service to all families free of charge and we do not financially compensate authors for articles. However, each post or article gets widespread exposure through our resources, partners and social networks and furthers the mission of serving all parents in raising compassionate, connected children.
