Writing a blog post: FAQs
Who can submit a post? The blog mostly contains writing by students and staff of the University of Sussex Anthropology department, but we very much welcome guest posts: just get in touch to discuss your post.
What should I write about? Something you care about! You could adapt a piece you’ve already written, such as an essay, thesis or article. You might write something in response to a current issue or news story. Book reviews and interviews are also welcome. If you have an idea, get in touch.
How long should the post be? 750 words is a good word count to aim for. We don’t have a limit on words, but try to keep it short and succinct if you can.
Do you accept all submissions? We will try to publish all submissions sent to us. We edit all posts, some more than others, and always as a collaborative process with your final approval. If your piece isn’t ready for publishing, we’ll just ask you to work on it a bit more.
