Write for Humane Choices
We welcome articles on animal welfare from students, volunteers and guest writers. If you can explain a hard topic clearly and honestly, with a source for every number, we would like to read your work.
In short
- Who can write
- Students, volunteers, team members, educators, researchers and anyone with something useful to say about animal welfare.
- What it costs
- Nothing. We are volunteer-run and our writers are volunteers too.
- What you need
- An article, a main photo, a short bio and a list of sources. You will sign in with a Google account so you can upload photos.
what we publish
Articles that explain
Our blog is written for students and young people. We publish articles on how animals are treated, how food, climate and health connect to animal welfare, what the law and policy say, what everyday choices look like, and what is happening in our own work. We also publish recipes, news, advocacy and stories of healing.
The best pieces explain one idea well. They tell the reader what is happening, who the rules cover and who they leave out, and what a person can do next. They are calm, fair and easy to follow.
before you write
Our writing rules
Every figure has a source
Name where each number came from and give a link. If you cannot show where a figure came from, leave it out. Your sources list goes in the form next to the figure each one supports.
Claim only what you can back up
Only claim what you can back up.
Send your own work
Your article must be original. Quote others sparingly, name them, and credit every picture.
how it works
From your draft to our blog
1. Send it
Fill in the writer form. It takes about ten minutes. Every article needs a main photo, and you can add more pictures and their credits. First time writers also add a short bio of up to 60 words, can upload a headshot, and give permission to show their name, photo and bio on the site.
2. We review it
A reviewer checks the wording, the sources and the originality. If something needs fixing, we write to you with what to change.
3. Published
Once your article is ready, it goes live on our blog. We will let you know as soon as it is published.
