Content

We are a blog covering music, concerts, sports, theatre, and pop culture, and are looking for articles from writers who are interested in any one of these themes. We’re interested in expanding the types of articles we offer up on the blog, such as:

• Concert reviews
• Theater production reviews (especially if you live in an area where a show is touring)
• Album reviews
• Interviews
• Articles about pop culture topics (as long as they can be related back to one of the other main topics)

These are just examples. We’ll take other topic ideas, so long as they fit within the main themes of our blog. Articles can combine any of the major topics, so long as it makes sense (e.g. if something in music or theater influenced something in pop culture). Topics should reference issues in the public mainstream. In other words, we won’t accept articles about the concert by the local hometown band or the community theater production.

Length

Articles generally should be restricted to 600 words or less. However, if you believe extra space is warranted to make the article that much better, just let us know.

Posting

Your article will be submitted using a generic guest posting account, but with your name and a notation that you are a guest blogger. Anybody who becomes a regular contributor will be granted a personal profile, complete with photo.

Links

In return for your work, you may have up to two content body links for every 200 words, for a total of six. These links may go back to your own website, but they should be relevant to the content of the article. Usually this means links won’t point to any page listing products for sale. We will accept links only to sites related to live entertainment topics. Site suitability is at the TN Team discretion.

No affiliate links may be placed within post content. You may also provide up to two links in an "about the author" section. Any anchor text used in the article or profile should make sense to the context of the sentence it’s in. We will request anchor text that is not in a grammatically correct order to be re-arranged.

Disclosure policy

All articles written on behalf of another entity should be indicated as such in the "bio" section below the article.

Prohibitions

We do not accept links to websites that are known to have malicious content or are dealing with illicit content, including sex, drugs, etc. In addition, links pointing to websites that are still under major construction or are not currently working will be denied.

Content review

All articles are subject to review and editing by TicketNetwork. Please don't be offended if we suggest changes. We will be checking for instances of the articles on other sites, so any content should be original. We also reserve the right to reject any article for any reason or no reason.

Images

Images are accepted. However, they must be from a copyleft source with permission for commercial use, or one of the many licensed sources (Shutterstock, etc.). All images should be properly attributed and have been credited. Proof of license may be required. Due to legal restrictions, images cannot feature actual artists, team logos, etc. Do not post anything that could be considered copyright infringement. If you don't provide a graphic of some sort, one will be added to the article. In lieu of a graphic, a video may be substituted.
