[…] Guest bloggers share their stories and experience on this site. They enrich the content I provide and fill in with expertise that I don’t have. […]

Alyson – I think it’s worth mentioning that when making a pitch to a blogger, it’s essential to make sure that the blogger is prepared to entertain a pitch. Also different people have different criteria for pitches. Yours work fine for you but other people might take a different approach.
For example, anybody looking at my blog would soon realise that my daily blog posts are all written by me and I’ve never given any indication that I want to invite contributions from guest bloggers
It hasn’t stopped people from volunteering! However I find that artists who do very often don’t leave a favourable impression as it just means they don’t have a clue about my blog.
Plus if anybody wants to send me a pitch I personally would expect at the very least a reference to a site where I can see a number of good quality examples of their written work ie I don’t mind editing but I don’t want it to be onerous, Again, the pitches which come in all too often don’t provide any examples of written work.
Finally – this is not an invite for anybody to send me a pitch!

Here is a little nudge if you are on the fence about taking Alyson up on this opportunity….. DO IT!!!! NOW!!!
I have done two guest posts here. Alyson is a great editor – made me sound smarter than I am. The exposure and credibility you will benefit from is worth far more than you will get from any form of advertising. Plus we, Alyson’s readers, will benefit too.
It is a huge WIN WIN.

Thanks for the opportunity you are providing to others. I’ve done this myself on a couple of other blogs: Subversive Stitchers: Women Armed with needles and I was the guest blogger for 2 weeks on the Studio Art Quilt Associates IL/WI blog
It has been a wonderful opportunity and a chance to promote myself and my artwork without the commitment to having my own blog at this time. It has brought viewers to my web site as evidenced in my monthly statistics. I also make a habit of commenting on one or two blogs each week as well (especially if I can provide my name and URL when I post).
I look forward to reading other artists guest posts.
Continued Success!

Thank you Alyson for the share of my drawing ‘Winged Moon’ everyone looks so content skimming across your post.
Thank you also for the opportunity to submit ideas for a guest post for your review and possible publication…hmmmm…that’s a very enticing offer.
