If you are an expert on any of the areas covered in Complete Wellbeing—fitness, nutrition, exercise, yoga, self development, emotional wellbeing, relationships, personal growth and spirituality among others—and wish to write for us, drop us a mail.

Don’t forget to outline your area of expertise and mention writing experience if any. Don’t worry if you haven’t written anywhere earlier, though, as the writing experience is welcome but isn’t mandatory. What is imperative is an expert understanding of the subject on which you wish to write

FAQs for Writers

Do you accept articles by new writers?

Yes. We do accept articles by new writers from any part of the globe. However, we discourage freelance writers who don’t have any prior experience in topic areas outlined above.

How do I start writing for Complete Wellbeing?

Send an email to editorial [at] completewellbeing.com expressing your interest in writing for us. Keep the email brief, tell us the topic you wish to write on and what qualifies you to write on that topic. Attach writing samples if any.

When will I come to know if you’ve accepted me as a writer?

Give us 15 working days to get back to you regarding the status of your submission. If you don’t hear from us within that time, send us a gentle reminder, just to make sure that we have received your email.

Can I send articles I’ve written before?

Do not send us articles for publication without first checking in with us.

Do you pay for articles?

We pay only in kind by promoting your books/blog/website on our website [in the form of links] as well as on our social media channels whenever possible.

Do you accept articles written by professionals routed through PR?

We accept articles written by the author himself/herself and not by the PR representative.
We do not publish articles ‘about’ any person. But experts are welcome to write on their topic of interest. The article will be reviewed by our editorial team.

Is the article sent back to the writer for approval after editing?

Considering the number of articles we publish, it is impossible to send back each edited article to the author for approval. Rest assured, we have a competent editorial team and our authors have always been pleased with the way their articles have been edited. In case a particular article requires substantial change, then the writer is intimated.
