Commitment Levels
Regular Contributors are assigned to an ongoing column to appear at a regular interval (2 weeks is most typical, though we will consider other intervals). This type of columnist must commit to writing regularly on the same niche for six to 12 months and must meet deadlines consistently to maintain their assigned spot on the editorial calendar. We prioritize Regular Columnists when editing and seek to publish their pieces on the scheduled publication date. Contributors with a lesser commitment may not have as much visibility as to exactly when their piece will appear.
Ad-Hoc Contributors must provide a minimum of three contributed pieces for standalone features and how-to contents over the course of 2-6 months. Contributors can irregularly submit ideas or already-written content when they have ideas they want to write about, or they can commit to a regular schedule for the duration of their relationship with us.
Special Contributors may contribute on a one-off basis if they have a very unique perspective, can share proprietary research, or wish to comment on a particular important or timely topic.
Editorial Standards
- Full disclosure of agency/client/partner relationships is required at all times, and our editors reserve the right to remove self-promotional content and links, as well as make significant edits to content and headlines.
- All accepted contributors must agree to provide original content, with exclusive rights granted to Scholapreneurs for a period of TWO years.
- If accepted as a contributor, you will receive content creator guidelines and instructions, as well as a formal content creator agreement to execute before any content is published on our properties.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please fill out the form and we’ll consider your application.
