Calling All Writers, Creative Thinkers and Headline Helpers!
Today, we are launching a new writers club, called the 7 Cups Writers Guild! This club will be for those of you who are natural readers and writers.
Project Goal: To create unique, interesting content to share on the 7 Cups blog for the enjoyment of both our community and outsiders.
Wed like topics to be interesting to a wide variety of people, and not necessarily based on personal stories and listening tips. The goal is to create and share content that can inspire and interest a broad range of people.
One way to think about this project, is headline grabbing, informative content. You can gain some inspiration from the below sites, but this will be the 7 Cups version!
BuzzFeed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/

Hello All!
Wanted to take a minute to let you know that I will be working on keeping blog posts up to date. If you have any content you would like to submit feel free to email it to me at anna@7cups.com. I would love to have enough content to post a few times a week if possible. Let me know if you would like to work with me to get this going! :)
I love your work! What a great project. I really would like to help out in the blogs, is there a set criteria or guidelines I have to follow? Or is there a certain format you would like articles to be in?
Hello @midniteangel ! I would love to have you help out and write for the blog. Why don't you first take a look at the blog here to get a feel for some of the types of posts we are looking for. Then you can either PM me or email me at Anna@7cups.com and we will get it all figured out! :)
I would love to be apart of this! I know taht im good with words and also been told i talk maybe way too much! I think that words are like music it speaks to the soul!
I think we all should be able to express our feeling and emotions, and I know im good at that! I think that being able to be here and helping is the best gift and sentiment we can give! I will give you a sample of my work!
Life should be about dreams about being able to make things possible, withought love
Life would be impossible!
Words are wisdom that we share with others to be able to give them courage to take on challenges they face!!!
Love is something that happpen instantly its something that shouldnt be forced or put on someone it should be a feeling that happens for no reason just because its there.
@pureatheart25 I would love for you to help out check out the blog and let me know what you're thinking about writing about. Then when you're done you can email me the post in a google doc to anna@7cups.com :)

If you'd like to write for us contact me at anna@7cups.com!
I'm really excited to take part in this opportunity! But I have a couple questions:
1. I noticed that many of the articles that are already on the blog have different colors in the text and I was wondering how this was done? I'm assuming HTML but if so, how do we put in the codes through email?
2. In the Google form for blog submissions, one of the spaces says "Blog Title". What are we supposed to put there? The name of the article?
Thanks!
Hi there,
I do all of the formatting of the article that's not something you need to worry about I will do my best to format it how it is in the document you send over to me.
The topic of the article or if you have a title for the post you've written then it can be included there. :) Feel free to email me at anna@7cups.com if you have any other questions!
Anna
Oh okay, thank you so much.
I write articles for another website on a whole variety of subjects and have done for years now so I might get involved in this. 😏
@SilentSerenityy Awesome look forward to working with you!
I'm a writer as well so I'd love to get on board. When I've finished my semester at Uni I'll send a post through :)
@fruityflamingo Great! :)
I will definitely participate in this project. It sounds really interesting.
@KandyQueen Look forward to seeing your writing :)
In this post, I see several references to "the spreadsheet" but I am unable to learn what it is or where it can be found. Help, please?
Is this post still active as far as needing writers? I would love to give this a try!
@wonderousSunshine82
I believe they'll need writers constantly so they have a lot of content they can post regularly. :)
@wonderousSunshine82 Yes absolutely this is ongoing!
Hello. Is the call for writers still on going?
@heinaourarocstar

@heinaourarocstar Yes please submit via the form included in the original forum post :)
@Annalia I would love to do this but I have no idea where the original post is if you ever get the time to post a link I would be grateful if you're too busy that's okay. I just thought I would ask. Take care. 😊
