Writing Submission Guidelines

We only publish content on Whim that is in-depth, eloquent, and which helps our audience to live a more creative, beautiful, or inspired life. Articles containing “fluff” (filler content that serves no purpose to the reader) will not be considered.

Some great examples of the type of content we’re looking for (in terms of tone, style, and depth of information) include:

• How To Create A 5 Year Plan That Won't Stress You Out – The Insecure Girls Club

• What does being your 'authentic self' actually mean? – Homebody Club

• Easy things you can do to be more sustainable today – RUSSH

We also ask that your submission has not been published elsewhere before, and that if it is to be shared on another website once published on Whim, it mentions the words: “This article was originally published on Whim Online Magazine”, with a link back to the original article.

At this time, we unfortunately cannot offer payment to writers whose work is published on Whim, however we can promise you a by-line, as well as the inclusion of up to three of your links (website/portfolio, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). Your published submission will also be showcased on our social media.   

Interview Pitches

Are you a female creative pursuing your passion? Do you have an inspiring tale to tell? We love not only showcasing the work of talented females around the globe, but also offering an insightful and inspiring look into their lives through interviews.

If you think you’re a great fit for our interview series, please get in touch. We can’t wait to meet you!

Photography Submissions

Although the content we publish is primarily article and interview-based, we also wish to showcase stunning photo shoots from time-to-time.

There are no rules regarding numbers of outfits, whether the model is signed or unsigned, or previous/future publishing. If you’ve got a set of photographs you’ve captured which are in-line with our desired aesthetic and goal (to live a more creative, beautiful, and inspired life), then we’d love to see it.

Please share your photos either as email attachments or via Google Drive or Dropbox. We do not accept submissions through WeTransfer. Due to a large volume of emails, it can take longer than the allocated 5-day time limit for us to view your submission.

We’d also love to know a bit about you in your email! Please tell us where you’re from and share some links to your work online (i.e. website and social media) so we can take a further look.

Please note: All submissions are currently unpaid, as we produce Whim for passion and purpose - not for profit. We do what we do for the love of it, and to champion the work of inspiring female creatives worldwide. We’re incredibly grateful to anyone who joins us on this journey by sharing their work or pitching their ideas.
