3. If your submission or bio references promote a business or service that is not in line with our philosophy (e.g. a weight-loss gimmick), we are not interested.

e. Acceptance: Since we do not compensate contributors for articles or posts, we’re more than happy to include a byline and your brief bio containing links to your website, Facebook, or Twitter accounts, which we will promote when your article/post goes live.
