Fashion Write for Us and Beauty Guest Post Guidelines + areyoufashion com

Quick answer: “Write for us fashion” at AreYouFashion means pitching original fashion, beauty or lifestyle writing to our editorial team for consideration. We accept a limited number of contributor pieces that meet our standards, review every pitch on merit, and label anything commercial separately. Send your pitch to be considered.

Key takeaways

• Who it is for: writers with genuine fashion, beauty or lifestyle expertise.
• What we want: original, useful, well-sourced pieces — not thin filler.
• How to pitch: a short idea and outline via our contact page before writing.
• Editorial vs paid: genuine contributions are editorial; brand-funded pieces run as sponsored content.
• Honesty: we do not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links inside contributor articles.

What a “write for us fashion” contribution is

A contributor piece is original writing offered to our readers because it is genuinely useful — a beauty guest post on a technique, a trend explainer, a styling guide or a considered lifestyle essay. It is assessed on merit by our editors, the same way any story is, and it earns its place by helping the reader rather than by promoting anything. If a piece is funded by a brand, or exists mainly to promote one, it is not a contribution; it is sponsored content, and we run it as such with clear labelling. Both are legitimate — they are simply different things, and we keep the line between them visible.

What we are looking for

We publish selectively, and the pieces that get commissioned tend to share a few qualities:

• Fashion writing with a genuine point of view — trends, styling, sustainability or industry context.
• Beauty guest posts grounded in real technique or expertise, not product marketing.
• Lifestyle pieces that help a style-led reader do or decide something specific.
• Original work not published elsewhere, written in British English.
• Claims that can be supported, especially anything touching skin, health or wellbeing.

What we will not accept

Some submissions are declined on sight because they do not fit how we work:

• Thin or AI-spun articles written mainly to place a link.
• Pieces that require undisclosed or disguised paid links — we do not sell these.
• Content already published elsewhere, or lightly spun from it.
• Unsupported health, skincare or wellbeing claims.
• Pure product promotion dressed up as editorial — that belongs in sponsored content.

How to pitch

A good pitch saves everyone time and gives your idea the best chance. Here is the sequence we prefer:

1. Read a few of our pieces so your idea fits our audience and tone.
2. Send a short pitch — the angle, why it matters now, a rough outline and a link to your work — via the contact page.
3. Wait for a go-ahead before writing the full draft; we commission selectively rather than accepting on spec.
4. Submit the draft to the agreed brief for editing and fact-checking.

Style and formatting

Write clearly for a style-led general reader rather than for other insiders. Use British spelling, short sections with descriptive subheadings, and specific, verifiable detail in place of vague superlatives. Credit your sources and image rights properly, and flag anything that would need substantiation. We edit for clarity, accuracy and house style, and we may return a piece for revisions before it runs — a normal part of getting it right rather than a rejection. A few practical points help a draft move quickly: keep paragraphs short, lead each section with its most useful point, and avoid filler that pads the word count without adding value. If you are quoting a study, a designer or a statistic, include the source so we can check it. Images should be ones you have the right to use, supplied at a decent size with any credits noted. Pieces that arrive close to this standard need lighter editing and reach publication sooner, which is better for everyone.

Links and disclosure

We are happy to credit a genuine author and, where relevant, to link to a legitimate source that helps the reader. What we do not do is publish articles built around undisclosed or disguised paid links, and we do not insert commercial links inside editorial contributions. If your real aim is a paid brand placement, that is a perfectly valid goal — it simply runs as sponsored content or a labelled feature rather than as an unpaid contribution, so readers always know what they are reading.

What contributors get

Accepted contributors get a byline, a careful edit that makes the work stronger, and their piece in front of a relevant, style-led audience. We cannot guarantee publication of every submission, and we prioritise pieces that genuinely help our readers over sheer volume. Writers whose work fits well are welcome to pitch again.

How our editing process works

Once a pitch is accepted and the draft arrives, it goes through the same editing your favourite pieces on the site have already had. An editor reads for structure and clarity first, making sure the argument or guidance actually lands for a style-led reader, then checks facts, sources and any claims that need support. We may tighten the writing, reorder sections, or ask you to expand a thin passage or add a missing source. None of this is a judgement on your ability; it is simply how considered publishing works, and good writers tend to welcome it. If a beauty or wellbeing claim cannot be substantiated, we will either remove it or ask you to soften it to something defensible. When the piece is ready, we agree the final version with you, add the byline and any credits, and schedule publication. You will see the edited version before it goes live, so nothing appears under your name that you have not approved. The aim throughout is a piece that helps the reader and that you are proud to have written.

Who you are working with

AreYouFashion is an independent fashion, beauty and lifestyle publication run by a named editorial team with published standards. You can read more via about us, our team, editorial policy, affiliate disclosure. Our reviews, edits and recommendations are decided by that team and are never for sale; commercial work is always kept separate and clearly labelled in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines. We do not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links, and nothing on the site is written to order inside independent coverage.

Guest post guidelines

To keep quality high, every fashion guest post must be original and unpublished, accurate and well-sourced, genuinely useful rather than promotional, and written in clear language. We edit accepted drafts to our standard and may add or adjust links for relevance. Purely promotional pieces are welcome too, but they run as clearly labelled sponsored content, not as an editorial guest post.

How to submit a guest post

1. Read these guest post guidelines and check we cover your topic.
2. Send a short pitch — working title, angle, why it helps our readers, and a line on your background — via our contact page.
3. On approval, send the draft; we review it for accuracy and fit.
4. We edit, schedule and publish, crediting you as a guest author.
