I’m vacationing from August 30th through September 3rd. I don’t want to be blogging while I’m on vacation. (Well, to be truthful, my wife doesn’t want me blogging while I’m on vacation.)
So, I’m looking for five worthy guest bloggers. Are you interested? Then send me a guest blog post. For one week, this will be “What do you know,” not “What does John know?”
Here are the details:
Anyone reading this is eligible. But, if you work in the whisky field in some manner, it can’t be a sales pitch. You can talk about your product/brand/etc., just don’t be peddling it. The more informative, thought provoking, entertaining, etc., that it is, the greater the chance I’ll pick yours. Still, it could be something as simple as a great question you wanted to ask everyone here–one that will stimulate conversation and get a great thread going.
You’ll get a “by line” at the end, so be sure to include your real name. If you don’t, I won’t publish it. And if you work for a whisky-related company, let me know who that is too.
This is a non-paying gig. (Sorry.) But, it’s really great exposure for you. (And the opportunity to be published.)
Email me one post (just one), along with a picture if you want to, before Monday, August 23rd. I will pick the five best guest blog posts that I read.
Send your guest post to john@maltadvocate.com. I’ll look at them during the week of August 23rd and pick five.
Let’s have some fun with this.
Now for the fine print:
In the subject line, you must put “Guest Blog” or I might not read it.
If you have a question about your post, comment here. Others might have the same question. Please don’t email me.
Unfortunately, I won’t have time to respond to your submission, so please don’t take it personally. I won’t be sending rejection emails out to everyone. Just check in daily during that week and keep your fingers crossed.




Wow! What an offer. Expect to see something from me in your inbox.
Maybe I’ll make it about wearing yellow shirts with brown pants!
Slainte,

It is fun I encourage people to consider it!
That really is a great idea John! Unfortunately, I have the writing skills of a 6 year old. No wait that might be unfair to 6 yr olds. Anyway I won’t be entering, but look forward to reading the posts of those that do win.
I sent my idea in. I can’t wait to read all the stories that week!
Is there a word count limit, John?
No, but the longer you make it, the more likely you will lose the readers’ (and my) attention.
Cool idea, John. I’ll try and put something together.
I just wanted to say that I have already received a bunch of guest blog posts and some are looking good. Keep them coming! I’m still looking for more!
