Guest Post Guidelines
These Terms and Conditions explain our requirements and the terms and conditions for submitting and publishing guest posts on Cancer Care News.
This policy is effective January 9, 2018 and updated March 20, 2023.
If you are a subject-matter expert and you are as passionate as we are about helping cancer patients through the journey, we would love to hear from you. We accept inquiries from credentialed professionals who can write credible, well-researched articles that not only inform but also provide our readers with positive, actionable steps.
Article Length
We’re not about the word count. It takes what it takes to communicate your message effectively, however, most of our articles average 1000-1500 words. We’re looking for writing that’s 100% original and chock-full of current, credible, relevant information that benefits our readers.
Article Quality
The article must be well researched from credible sources. It should be fully formatted with correct grammar, tone, and spelling. You should include relevant SEO information including meta description and optimized headings.
Topics
Some of the topics our readers are interested in include breaking news on cancer treatments and clinical trials as well as screening programs, nutrition and exercise guidelines, sample fitness regimens, meal prep, time savers, legal help, money savers, stress reducers and other better-living tips useful to cancer patients before and after diagnosis. Check out our blog to get an idea of the types of posts our readers use to help in their daily lives and get in touch if you think you have something unique to offer. It’s also a good idea to make sure we haven’t already covered the topic several times recently. We do not accept for consideration any cartoons, fiction, poetry, politically-themed or anonymous articles.
Content Review/Edit
All content is subject to a thorough review process by our editors to ensure the quality and accuracy of the information presented. We reserve the right to edit for content and clarity. If the content appears anywhere else online or off it will be rejected.
Multimedia
There is no need to add multimedia to your content; we will add it later. However, if you do choose to include any, please note we accept only images, videos and screenshots when they enhance the message and are free from copyright restrictions.
Copyright
All work submitted must be original and unique to Cancer Care News. We do not publish anything that appears elsewhere on the web. If we publish your post on Cancer Care News, we retain the rights to that content. We don’t allow republishing on any other website or blog at any time or for any reason.
Disclosures
Writers must disclose any financial investment in or involvement with the subject of the article for careful review by CCN editorial staff. Articles with a known conflicts of interest will be rejected.
Acceptance
While we read every pitch and article, due to time constraints we can’t respond to every one we receive. If you haven’t heard back from us in two weeks, we will not be able to use your content. An accepted query does not guarantee publication of your article. Editors reserve the right to reject any article at any time before publication.

Your byline of up to 50 words may also be followed by one link to your author page and/or social media accounts. One professional link within the article is also permitted.
