Thank you for sharing your story.
What is the interview structure? How long should it be?
Similar to femfounder.co, Please begin your interview with a short four-sentence bio written in the third person. No links here. Submit your interview in a Word document (not pages or a google document, but a Word document) with two images. Images must be at least 800 pixels X 500 pixels. Must include a photo credit (even if it was taken by you or your friend). We can’t publish interviews without that credit.
Add a title that describes the interview. Links will be added at the end of the interview. We have changed our policy to allow links at the end of the interview only. Any links in the bio and body will be removed.
Interview questions should be in the first person and be at least 1,500 words in length to engage and educate our readers.
How do I submit my interview?
Please email it to Kristin@FemFounder.co but include “Interview + Name” in the subject line so we know it’s ready to go.
What is the deadline?
All interviews are first come, first serve, so there’s no deadline.
What is the turnaround time?
We also ask all of you to be considerate of our small editorial team’s time. Most interesting interviews are published within eight weeks of receipt; however, there are times that run time may be longer.
How many interviews do you publish a month?
We publish 30% of interviews that we receive and strive to publish one a day; however, we may publish a handful a week.
Is there a charge to be featured?
No, we would never charge you to tell your story.
Can your team proofread my submission?
While we do our best to edit for grammar, we can’t edit at length due to the lack of bandwidth our team has. We ask you to take an extra minute to proofread your submission. Submissions with grammatical errors will not be published.
Why did you not publish my interview? How will I know if my interview is selected for publication?
Most likely because the interview lacked substance, didn’t adhere to our style guidelines, or didn’t align with our audience. We will email you with links to your interview if we do publish it.
Do you have other websites where you published interviews?
Yes, we do. We have several websites where we showcase cool founders. If you would like to find out about all media opportunities, sign up here. We email these queries every week.
