We welcome guest posts on our blog. If you would like to send us a proposal for a guest post, please email Coconutlands@unlockedboxstore.com with a brief description of what you wish to offer. We will aim to reply within 2 business days.
What we’re looking for
Overall aim: we aim to deliver entertaining and informative content that is relevant to our readers. We believe in travel as a force for greater harmony and understanding in the world. Therefore, we do not publish any material that contains profanities or content that is highly likely to be offensive to any particular person or sector of society.
Subject matter: posts should be relevant to the subject of our blog, which is laid-back slow travel. We define this as non-vigorous, non-adventurous travel that can be undertaken without public transport. Examples are:
- destination guides
- city guides
- great rail journeys
- exploring countries by bus
- luxury stays
- spa holidays and retreats
- yacht holidays and cruises
- topical news subjects of general interest to travellers.
We do not cover:
- adventure travel
- road trips
- cycling
- hiking and other active outdoor pursuits
Images: your copy should include images. These can be your own, or from stock sites provided that you have permission or licensing rights to use them.
Language: the language of our blog is UK English. We accept guest posts in all forms of native English and will not change, for example, American spelling if you write in North American English. If you are a non-native English speaker, we will work with you to achieve a final text that reads as natural native English.
Promotions and sales: we do not accept posts that are promoting or selling products and services.
