Guest Posting Policy

On the MATCH MY SCRIPT blog or forum, we welcome guest authors to join our blog or forum about Biblical Studies.

The blog and forum posts can be about anything that connects to Biblical Studies. You can describe projects you’ve done as a teacher or experienced as a learner or parent/guardian of a student, offering lessons learned and advice. You can explain the benefits of Biblical Studies and reflect on what makes it work effectively. You can connect Biblical Studies to other programs in schools or the world outside of school. The main point is to tell interesting stories based on your personal experience. See examples at https://www.matchmyscript.com.

If you’d like to discuss your ideas before writing, please email info@matchmyscript96. Any submission may be edited for content, length, and style. We cannot guarantee that every submission will be posted, but if your first one is not, we welcome you to submit another!

Submitting and Publishing Articles

We accept guest articles on a case-by-case basis unless some other agreement has been established between MATCH MY SCRIPT and the guest author. Please submit a draft of your article that meets the following guidelines for consideration and review:

  • Use proper spelling and grammar.
  • Give credit and cite content where necessary.
  • Disclose any conflicts of interest.

Photos and graphics created by other individuals or companies must be listed with one of the following creative commons licenses: Attribution (CC BY), Attribution-NoDerivs (CC BY-ND) or Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA).
  • Include the author’s byline — First Name & Last Name, Title, Organization/Affiliation, and City/State/Nation.

Writing Tips

  • Use the first-person voice and a conversational, informal style – not academic.

  • Start with a hook. Share some personal anecdote or story if applicable.
  • Include lessons learned that make your content applicable to other audiences in other schools or organizations.

  • Break up writing into fairly short paragraphs.

Writing Conventions

  • Use 12-point font, single-spaced text, left-justified.
  • Use only ONE space after a period.
  • Do not embed images within the text; put them at the end and we will add them.
  • Do not indent a new paragraph; use one line break to indicate it.
  • If you include a link to the Web, make it embedded in the word(s) that refer to it, not by saying “here” or by giving the url.
