Guest Writer Guidelines

We’re so glad you’re interested in writing for Crafted by His Grace! Our mission is to encourage and equip midlife women to rediscover their God-given creativity and purpose and deepen their faith through reflection, encouragement, and practical inspiration. If your heart is to uplift women in this season of life, we would love to hear from you!

What We’re Looking For

We welcome thoughtful, encouraging, and biblically sound articles that fall into one or more of the following categories:

  • Everyday Inspiration (personal stories, reflections, or practical ideas for living intentionally—with joy and purpose)
  • Creative Living (writing, crafting, homemaking, organizing, journaling — ways to find creativity in this season of life)
  • Caregiving and Legacy (navigating life transitions, aging parents, grief)
  • Midlife Transitions (empty nesting, menopause, retirement, or starting something new in midlife)

Your article should uplift and encourage without preaching or oversharing personal trauma. We love grace-filled, authentic writing with practical takeaways.


Submission Requirements

  • Length: minimum 600, maximum 1,000 words
  • Style: Encouraging, faith-centered, and easy to read — like you’re writing to a friend.
  • Structure: Break up your post with a clear title and a few subheadings. (If you’re unsure how, we’re happy to help format it!)
  • Scripture: Include 1–2 Bible verses that support your message. We recommend using the ESV, NIV, CSB, NLT, or NKJV translations in your writing.
  • Takeaway: End with a short “Live it Out” or reflection section — a practical encouragement or next step for the reader. (Check out recent posts for examples)
  • Summary (optional): Feel free to include a 1–2 sentence summary at the top. If not, we’ll add it later.
  • Originality: Content must be original and not published elsewhere. If repurposed from your personal blog, please adapt it specifically for our audience at Crafted by His Grace.
  • Author Bio: Include a short 3-5 sentence bio with a link to your site, blog, or social media.
  • Optional: You may submit a square author photo (headshot) and/or a high-quality, copyright-free image to accompany your post.

How to Submit

Send your completed post as a Word or Google doc to: angievallejowriter@gmail.com
Please include in the subject line: Guest Post Submission – [Your Topic].

We’ll review and respond within 2–3 weeks. If accepted, we may suggest light edits for clarity, flow or formatting. If changes are recommended, you will receive an email with a final version for review before it goes live.


Publishing & Promotion

  • If your article is accepted, we’ll provide an anticipated publication date.
  • Your article will appear on Crafted by His Grace and may be promoted through our newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels.
  • We ask our guest contributors to help spread the encouragement! Once your article is published, please share it with your own audience through social media, your website, newsletter, or other platforms you use, linking directly to your article on Crafted by His Grace.
  • Please avoid reposting the full article on your own blog or social media before or on the same day it’s published on Crafted by His Grace.
  • We’ll provide a special guest contributor badge that you can proudly display on your website or share on social media.

You retain full ownership of your original writing. We simply request first publication rights, meaning your article will appear on Crafted by His Grace before being published elsewhere. After publication, you’re welcome to share or republish your article on your own platforms, with a link acknowledging its original publication on our blog.

Our goal is to work together to reach more women with biblical encouragement, inspiration, and practical wisdom.


Whether you’re a seasoned writer or stepping out for the first time, thank you for considering a guest post for Crafted by His Grace. Your story, creativity, and voice matter — and God can use them to encourage another woman in a powerful way.

We can’t wait to read your words!

I believe God is still creating something beautiful in every season of life.

Crafted in His Grace exists to encourage midlife women to deepen their faith, rediscover their purpose, and embrace who God is shaping them to become. Through biblical encouragement, practical inspiration, and everyday creativity, my hope is to remind you that the Creator is still at work—and your story isn’t finished yet.
