Write for Great Lakes Psychology Group

Please do not submit completed articles. Here’s how to submit your blog ideas:

• Submit your article pitches using our form.
• After submitting your pitch, you will be contacted with next steps.
• If your pitch has been accepted, you will be asked to either submit an outline of your ideas for further consideration or a completed article.
• Once your article has been submitted, it will be reviewed by our editorial team. Our editorial team may provide suggestions for changes or request that you revisit certain areas of your article. If the editorial staff deems that the edits would be too extensive, your article will be declined, and no payment will be made.
• Once you have addressed the editorial team’s suggestions and the article is deemed publishable, you will earn $150 for your complete article. Payments will be made separately from your monthly compensation.

Length: Min 600 words

Here are the parameters we will use to evaluate the publishability of your article:

• Clarity: Logic is easy to follow. Writing is clear and concise. The thesis/main idea is clear throughout.
• Structure: One idea flows to the next. Ideas are organized into a logical structure/headers are used to separate main ideas.
• Tone: The tone is professional, thoughtful, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and non-judgmental.
• Accuracy: The information you're providing is factually sound. Claims are backed up by evidence. If you are making a claim, provide a reference (either a link or a citation)
• Grammar & mechanics: Minimal errors in grammar and mechanics (the rules of the written language, such as capitalization, punctuation, and spelling)

Note: All submissions may be subject to edits to align with our current blog style and tone.

• Reads like an academic research paper: While evidence and references are important, we’re looking for content that is both approachable and practical for the general public or therapists.
• Primarily AI-generated content: Submissions must reflect your unique voice, expertise, and perspectives. Content that is over 50% written by AI will be asked to be rewritten.
• Contains inaccurate information or lacks appropriate citations: All advice, strategies, or claims that are not your own must be supported by citations from reputable sources.
• Duplicate existing content: We strive to provide fresh perspectives, so articles that cover topics already thoroughly addressed on our blogs will not be accepted.

We will not accept articles that have been published elsewhere, printed, or online. Once published on our blog, the article may not be published anywhere else. However, you may share the link to your published blog wherever you’d like (e.g., social media, personal blog, or website).

We understand that AI can be a helpful tool for brainstorming or editing, but we do not accept articles that are primarily AI-generated. Submissions must reflect your unique voice, expertise, and professional perspective. Content that is over 50% written by AI will not be accepted. AI may be used to assist in formatting or idea generation, but your personal insight should drive the article.

You may submit as many article pitches as you wish. There is no limit. This will be an ongoing opportunity for the foreseeable future, not a one-time call for submissions. Feel free to continue submitting pitches from here on out.

We aim to get back to you within a week, but sometimes it may take longer. Due to the volume of blog submissions we receive, we cannot guarantee a reply to every blog submission.

Each full-length article accepted will earn you $150.
