• High-quality article - First and foremost, your submitted article must provide high-quality content to our readers. We will not accept any article that reads like it was thrown together and lacks a cohesive message. Be sure the article is focused and reads well before submitting.
• Appropriate topics - When considering what to write for our audience, we encourage you to focus on topics which relate to the parenting of teenagers. Tangentially, these topics can also include current issues teens struggle with, medical conditions which can affect how parents raise teens, and other considerations.
• Minimum word count - To help ensure that contributor submissions provide quality, we require that all guest posts be at least 750 words long at minimum. You are welcome to write more, though submissions over 2,000 words may be broken into two articles.
• Article formatting - When it comes to the readability of your content, be sure to use subtitles and other text-enrichment tools such as numbered lists, bold fonts, etc.
• Article tone - On Liahona, we have striven to provide our readers with high-quality information on parenting troubled teens. To conform to this, your guest post should have a positive tone overall while remaining informational.

• Outside links - Outside links to resources such as studies, infographics, and authorities sites with statistics are acceptable to link to within your article. These resource links should add value to your article and strengthen your overall message. We will NOT accept links which lead to loan sites, gambling websites, e-commerce websites, adult entertainment websites, or spammy websites. We also will NOT accept links that go to other websites which deal with troubled teen treatment such as rehabilitation centers, troubled teen boarding schools, or similar sites.
