Submission Guidelines for The Dad Hammer Pub
Updated: 9/21/2019
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 publication focused on helping to equip fathers. This is done by fatherhood lessons and stories about 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.
