Article Submission Guidelines

If you are interested in submitting an article for inclusion on The Childfree Life, please look over the following information:

You do not need to be a professional writer to submit an article.  We accept articles from all interested writers.  Articles must have a minimum length of approximately 500 words.  We also have a publishing team available to our writers to help you with everything from grammar to thought organization.  The author retains full copyright to his/her articles, as TCFL is unable to purchase articles from authors.

Authors must join our forums prior to submitting an article.  We also encourage you to participate in the forums and become familiar with the general tone of The Childfree Life before submitting an article.  We welcome all points of view and do not discourage repetition of previous topics, provided you can give it a fresh perspective.

Articles in need of editing will not be published until requested changes are completed.  Authors will be notified via the private message system or in a reply email if his/her article needs to be edited and resubmitted.

When you are ready to submit your article, please do so by using the Article Submission Form.

When your article is published, you will receive a private message from a member of the publishing team with a link to your article and a link to a new thread begun in the forums to discuss it.

Thank you for contributing to The Childfree Life.
