Submission Guidelines for The Dad Hammer Pub
Last Updated: 7/31/2018
The Dad Hammer Pub is a publication for Dads!
This publication was born out of my search for a solid Dad Publication here on Medium. In my search, there were plenty of people who had started publications, but they weren’t creating a community around it. And so, I decided it was time to create a publication for the Dad community.
The Dad Hammer Pub is a community for Dads to help each other become better equipped fathers. And to lift up stories of great fathers in our lives.
We will focus on five topics:
- Fatherhood
- Parenting
- Advice
- Stories
- Family
Through these five topics, we can help encourage each other, build up each other, equip each other, and grow our children into amazing people.
My heart behind this publication is to build a solid foundation for our children by using this publication as one of many tools in our toolbox.
