Information for 10,000 Birds Guest Post Writers
We frequently publish guest posts from birders who have something interesting to share — a story, an encounter, or a fresh perspective on the birding world. To keep such contributions a good fit for 10,000 Birds, here are a few pointers.
What Works Well
A story or fresh angle on birds or birding.
Personality — curiosity, humor, or a bit of opinion.
Clear, lively writing. If readers can see the bird, you are on the right track.
Illustrations or photos — always appreciated.
What Does Not
Ads or self-promotion. (If your lodge or guiding business is good, readers will learn that from your bio, not the post.)
Anything that sounds like a grant proposal, press release, or policy memo.
Empty phrases or “soaring vultures in the sunset” moments — we have read enough of those.
About Author Bios
If you are a bird guide or run a business, that is perfectly fine — just keep the post itself focused on the birds and the experience. We will add a short third-person bio at the top of your post, where you can include a link to your website. If readers enjoy your piece, they will follow the link because your writing made them want to know more.
