Thank you for your consideration of submitting content to wecanmag.com, as well as the Women Entrepreneurs Can weekly newsletter and monthly digital magazine (referenced collectively as Women Entrepreneurs Can from here on out). We can’t tell you how much we appreciate both your time AND your expertise.
What we’re looking for is pretty cut-and-dry: we’re looking for passionate women who want to help other women succeed as they launch their new business and navigate the obstacles of the business world. And the best part is that you don’t need to be a world-renowned speaker, author, business owner, or consultant. In fact, some of the best content we’ve ever read has been from non-mainstream movers and shakers who fly under the radar, quietly doing their part to help make the startup space a better place. Does this sound like you?
If so, please ask yourself these 2 questions:
If your answers to those questions are a resounding yes, then we encourage you to keep reading for our submission guidelines, terms, and conditions.
How to Reach Our Audience
While we certainly don’t want to put too many restrictions on you, there are a few basic submission guidelines we’ll need you to follow:
- Rights: your idea must be completely original and copyright free.
- Length: we’re looking for content that’s 500 to 2,000 words in length. If you’re submitting audio or a podcast, we will need your audio supplied as an mp3 file. If you’re submitting a video, please supply it as an mp4 file.
- Photos: any photographs supplied to further enhance your article article must be supplied as jpeg’s and be of high enough resolution for a digital magazine; preferably 150dpi at 100%. The photographs must meet the below terms and conditions (royalty free or originals).

- Practical: all submissions must include practical, how-to/action steps readers can use immediately.
