So please contact me through Facebook or <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/janariess\">Twitter<\/a> if you would like to be considered for this opportunity. This blog emphasizes a number of things (spirituality, pop culture, religious humor, current affairs, social justice, the Mormon experience), so the general topics are fairly wide open. Some helpful hints:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The length needs to be below 1,000 words (expect to be edited for style, length, and sometimes content). Shorter is even better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The post must be timely and of interest to a large number of readers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s good to take a clear position on an issue. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bloggers whose posts are accepted will write well and have a social network from which they can link to\/announce the post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Shoot me a quick query letter <i>before<\/i> you submit a post. I&#8217;ll be able to tell you whether the idea might be appropriate for the blog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m also interested in running more excerpts and author Q&amp;As on this blog; these typically happen on Wednesdays. Publicists and authors should contact me a few weeks before publication with pitches for new books on topics that are relevant to the blog.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to broadening our conversations. &#8211;JKR&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends, as many of you know, I am going to be teaching part-time during the spring semester at Miami University of Ohio.
