Guest Contributor Guidelines

Submissions can be made anonymously or with a guest contributor byline along with a link to your website, social media or blog.

Your post can be written for the following demographics:

  • for those with borderline personality disorder (how to cope with anger, how to use radical acceptance in your everyday life, etc.)
  • for loved ones of people with BPD (how to support your spouse’s BPD recovery, how to validate your friend with BPD’s feelings, etc).
  • for a more general population, as long as the post is relevant to wellness or healthy relationships and could otherwise be valuable to either of the above mentioned demographics (the ultimate guide to cutting off toxic friends, how to get over indecisiveness and make a solid decision, etc).

Having a BPD diagnosis is not a requirement in order to be a guest contributor. However, your submission must not invalidate another person’s experience with borderline personality disorder or a loved one’s experience. Generalizations, assumptions or overly harsh judgements of those with BPD or their loved ones are not allowed.

Writing about the impact of abuse from someone with untreated BPD is allowed, as we believe it’s important not to sugarcoat the fact that sometimes unchecked BPD may result in abusive behaviors, so long as you do not make generalizations about everyone with BPD. While we have compassion for abuse victims, we also humbly ask that you refrain from villainizing the pwBPD who abused you. It’s best to hold them accountable without attacking them, or stooping to their level.

Please ensure there is not a crazy amount of identifying information in your post. If we feel a post may put you or another in harm’s way, including emotionally or legally, we may decline from posting it.

Your post must be over 1200 words. This is for SEO purposes.

Affiliate links are no longer allowed in the body of guest posts. If you’re looking to sponsor a guest post, please email us at sponsor@bpdbeautiful.com.

Your post does not need to be an exclusive to be used as a guest post on BPD Beautiful. It can be previously published elsewhere, but your submission must include the full post in order to be chosen (no excerpts with link backs, please).

BPD Beautiful reserves the right to edit, modify or format any guest contributor’s post or post title in order to fit our website and brand aesthetic as well as to follow post & brand guidelines. New post graphics and images will be created for all submitted and accepted posts to maintain brand consistency.

The use of ranking keywords in your post is highly recommended for SEO purposes. We do have a returning follower base, but using keywords in your post will help make it reach a broader audience.
