Member Blog Submission Guidelines

Here are the guidelines for you to consider when formulating a topic to pitch. We will work with you during the editing process and we are available to you if you want to talk about honing in on how to convey a particular topic to meet our audience’s needs.

• NCIA encourages member companies and allied nonprofit organizations to submit educational posts for the NCIA Blog.
• Member posts are original content, educational in nature, and directed toward an audience of cannabis business professionals.
• NCIA will only accept content that has not been published elsewhere already.
• Member posts are an average of 800 – 1,000 words and may contain external links, images, video, and other forms of content.
• While it is assumed that members writing guest posts will reference their member company and provide resources created by the company, the NCIA blog is not a forum for company advertisements. Pitches and advertisement-heavy posts will not be accepted for publication.
• All posts are subject to editing by NCIA staff and become the property of NCIA upon publication.
• Posts may be shared by the author or NCIA through social media, email, or external media.
• Annual NCIA members are able to submit one blog per month (depending on availability) and monthly/quarterly members are able to submit one blog post per quarter.
• Please email Brooke@TheCannabisIndustry.org or click “Submit Blog Pitch Ideas” below to submit your blog post. Preferably blogs will be shared via Google Docs with title, content, and author/company bio. Author headshot and any image attachments should be emailed as well.
