LifeBei Guest Post Style Guide

Guest Post Style Guide

We appreciate your interest in contributing to LifeBei as a guest writer. In order to maintain the quality and consistency of our content, we have put together this style guide to ensure that all submissions adhere to our guidelines.

Writing Guidelines

  • All Guest Post articles must be written in English (EN-US) and submitted in Markdown format.
  • The recommended word count for guest posts is between 800-1500 words. However, longer articles may be accepted if the content is valuable and engaging.
  • Use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
  • Write in a clear, concise, and engaging manner.
  • Include relevant subheadings to break up the text and make it easier for readers to navigate through the article.
  • Use bullet points or numbered lists to organize information and make it more visually appealing.
  • Include at least one high-quality, relevant image with proper attribution.
  • Please avoid using excessive capitalization or bold/italic fonts in your articles.

Voice & Tone

  • LifeBei aims to inspire, empower and educate our readers. Therefore, the tone of your article should be positive, informative, and uplifting.
  • Use a conversational tone to engage with the readers.
  • Avoid using jargon or technical terms that may not be familiar to our audience.
  • We encourage writers to share personal experiences and opinions in their articles, but please keep in mind to remain respectful and considerate towards other views.

Content Guidelines

  • All Guest Post content must be original and not previously published on any other platform.
  • Articles should provide valuable information, tips, or advice related to the topic in a unique and creative way.
  • Please refrain from promoting products or services within the article.
  • Make sure all facts and statistics are properly cited and sources are mentioned.
  • Avoid any form of discrimination, harassment, or hate speech in your writing.

Appendix: Grammar and Punctuation

In this section, we will delve into the intricacies of grammar and punctuation. Our aim is to optimize word choice, sentence structure, readability, and eloquence, while preserving the essence of the original content. We have provided some examples below, but this is not an exhaustive list.

Articles (a, an, the)

  • Use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound. Example: A book, a university, a hotel.
  • Use “an” before words that start with a vowel sound. Example: An apple, an hour, an umbrella.
  • Use “the” when referring to a specific noun or something that has been previously mentioned. Example: The book I read last night, the university I attended, the hotel we stayed at.

Commas (,)

  • Use commas to separate items in a list. Example: I bought apples, oranges, and bananas.
  • Use a comma before a conjunction when joining two independent clauses. Example: LifeBei aims to inspire and empower its readers.
  • Use a comma after introductory phrases or words. Example: In conclusion, I would like to thank our readers.

Apostrophes (‘)

  • Use an apostrophe before the “s” for singular possessive nouns. Example: Sarah’s car, the dog’s tail.
  • Use an apostrophe after the “s” for plural possessive nouns. Example: The students’ books, the cats’ toys.
  • Use an apostrophe to indicate a contraction. Example: It’s (it is) a beautiful day, I’m (I am) excited.

Hyphens (-)

  • Use hyphens to connect compound adjectives. Example: A well-written article, a time-saving tip.
  • Use hyphens in prefixes and suffixes to avoid confusion. Example: Over-the-counter medication, pre-existing condition.

Submission Process

  • Please submit your article in Markdown format to info@lifebei.com or through the submission form on our website.
  • Include a brief author bio (maximum 50 words) with links to your personal blog or social media profiles.
  • Our team will review your submission and get back to you within 2 weeks.
