Write for Divine.
Divine Magazine publishes thoughtful, original writing on culture, creativity, wellness, music, identity and modern life. We are interested in perspective, substance and a genuine human point of view — not content created for algorithms, promotion or backlinks.
Is your story right for Divine?
We look for writing with a clear perspective and something meaningful to contribute. A strong submission should feel relevant to Divine's readers before it feels useful to a search engine.
Ideas with a point of view.
- Culture, identity and lived experience
- Wellness and intentional living
- Creativity, growth and self-expression
- Modern lifestyle and meaningful perspectives
- Music, art and independent creative culture
Content with another agenda.
- Sponsored, promotional or advertorial submissions
- Backlink-first or SEO-placement content
- Affiliate, gambling, crypto, CBD or vape content
- Unsubstantiated medical or health claims
- AI-generated or substantially AI-assisted articles
Before you submit.
Please make sure your article meets these core editorial requirements. Submissions that fall outside them may not proceed to full editorial review.
Aim for substance without unnecessary length. Around 1,000–1,200 words is ideal for most features.
Your submission must not have been published elsewhere, including personal blogs or other publications.
The article must be authored by you rather than generated, rewritten or substantially composed by generative AI.
The story must serve readers first. Promotional articles, paid placements and commercial link insertions are not accepted.
The essentials.
Good editorial judgment matters more than rigid formatting. These standards help us keep guest contributions consistent with Divine's publishing environment.
Use a natural voice, clear structure and meaningful observations rather than keyword-led copy.
Break longer pieces into logical sections and keep paragraphs readable across mobile devices.
Cite reputable sources where necessary. Links should strengthen the story, not create commercial value.
Only submit photographs or artwork you own or have explicit permission to publish.
Commercial, client, affiliate and manipulative SEO links are not permitted inside submissions.
Your article should have a defined premise rather than simply summarizing a broad topic.
Your voice should actually be yours.
Submitted articles must be written by the contributor. Divine does not accept articles generated, rewritten, expanded or substantially composed using generative AI.
We value lived experience, original observation, individual perspective and the imperfections that make human writing recognizably human.
What happens next.
We keep the contributor process straightforward. Submit a finished article and our editorial team takes it from there.
Submit
Send your finished article and contributor information through the submission portal.
Editorial review
We assess originality, editorial fit, quality, sourcing and compliance with these guidelines.
Decision
Contributors selected for publication are contacted by email once their submission has been reviewed and scheduled. Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we are unable to provide individual status updates or guarantee a review or publication timeframe.
Publication
Approved features are prepared and scheduled according to Divine's editorial calendar.
Your byline, elevated.
Published guest contributors can receive a dedicated Divine Contributor profile directly within their article — giving readers context about who you are, what you know and the perspective behind your work.
Add a contributor name, headshot and concise biography so readers know who is behind the story.
Highlight relevant areas of expertise and give your contribution useful professional context.
Selected contributors may include a personal website and relevant social or professional profile links.
Your voice remains yours. We edit to strengthen, maintain and responsibly develop published work over time.
What editing means at Divine.
Accepted submissions may receive editing for grammar, clarity, formatting, house style, factual accuracy, legal considerations, readability and presentation.
We may adjust headlines, excerpts, formatting, imagery, internal links, metadata and presentation to suit Divine Magazine's editorial and publishing standards.
Post-publication updates & removal
Publishing is not always the end of the editorial process. Divine Magazine may edit, update, restructure, retitle, expand, shorten, correct, optimize or otherwise revise published contributions after publication to maintain accuracy, relevance, accessibility, editorial quality, search visibility and consistency with our current publishing standards.
Updates may include refreshing outdated information, improving structure or readability, adding or replacing sources, updating links and media, improving search presentation, adding new context, and adapting an article as a subject develops.
Divine Magazine also reserves the right to unpublish, archive or permanently remove published contributions when we determine that they are outdated, no longer relevant to our editorial direction, no longer meet our current publishing standards, present accuracy or legal concerns, duplicate other coverage, or no longer provide sufficient value to readers.
Removal of a published contribution is an editorial decision and does not require prior notice or approval from the contributor. Divine Magazine is not obligated to maintain any article, URL, backlink, author profile, image or other submitted material indefinitely.
Where substantial post-publication changes materially develop or alter the original contribution, Divine Magazine may add an editorial update credit, identify the involvement of the Divine editorial team, or adjust attribution where appropriate.
By submitting work to Divine Magazine, contributors acknowledge that accepted and published material may be edited, maintained, updated, archived or removed by the editorial team after publication without requiring separate approval for each editorial decision.

Before you hit submit.
Do I need to pitch before submitting?
No. For guest contributions, send a finished article through the submission portal. This lets our editorial team assess the complete piece rather than an outline alone.
Can I include links in my article?
Relevant editorial citations are permitted when they genuinely support the article. Commercial, affiliate, client or backlink-placement links are not accepted. Contributors may include a personal website and selected social or professional profiles in their Divine Contributor bio.
Can I submit an article published elsewhere?
No. Guest submissions must be original and unpublished when submitted to Divine Magazine.
Do you accept AI-assisted articles?
We do not accept articles generated, rewritten, expanded or substantially composed using generative AI. The submitted writing must be your own work.
Will my article definitely be published?
No. Submission does not guarantee publication. Every piece is evaluated for editorial quality, originality, relevance and fit with Divine.
Will you edit my submission?
We may make reasonable edits for grammar, clarity, formatting, accuracy, house style and presentation while preserving the contributor's voice and core argument.
Can my article be updated or removed after publication?
Yes. Divine Magazine may update, restructure, retitle, archive, unpublish or permanently remove published contributions as part of our ongoing editorial management. This may be done to maintain accuracy, relevance, editorial quality, search visibility and consistency with Divine's current publishing standards. Publication does not guarantee that an article, URL, backlink or contributor profile will remain available indefinitely.
