Write for Smorgasboard of History
Love history and storytelling? SOH is for you
Edited on 9/18/2023
This is one of my two history-based Medium publications along with Art Hi“STORY.”
My goal for this site is not quantity, but quality. I’d love to include you as a writer. Please review the guidelines.
Here are some additional guidelines.
Step 1 — Have an interest in these subjects. Do you have something to share in the historical realm that would be of interest to others? Do you have a new slant on an old subject? If you think it is interesting, odds are others will too.
Step 2 — Be open to some editorial help. I’m not perfect but I will probably pick up on some stuff that needs changing or fine-tuning, just like other people do for me. Fresh, and different eyes, often help a piece.
Step 3—Source your facts. This is a deal-breaker for me. I know a lot of this is content that gets rehashed and reinterpreted over time, but you need to give credit where credit is due. You can do this through links — this actually helps your SEO too — and footnotes.
