Here’s the submission rules:

1. Pitch an idea.

Adding photos to content really helps the audience visualise the points being made.

2. Create content.

Write at least 400 words and choose at least two images you have permission to use.

Write about a new charity initiative, a festival, a new local novel, your friend who has a new business and what makes them unique, a family day out somewhere or photography or arts. Those are just examples from the top of my head so I’m sure you have many more.

3. Keep it snappy.

I don’t intend to amend or rewrite your content, unless it is to add my own introduction, as it needs to sound like your own authentic voice. I’ll just check it for potential links, spelling errors may remain so please ensure someone has proof read your work.

The content remains your own and by submitting it for publishing on BrumHour blog you give permission for edits to be made but if you then want to repost it on your own blog you are welcome to do so.

4. Write an “about the blogger/author” paragraph to go under the links.

The audience wants to know about you, your work and what is coming up.

5. Tell @BrumHour that it is ready.

When its ready tweet me at @brumhour or drop me an email at brumhour@gmail.com.

Happy creating!
