What Left Unsaid Covers

Left Unsaid is an independent relationship education platform exploring the emotional and psychological patterns that often sit underneath difficult relationship questions.

Suitable contribution topics can include:

Other closely related subjects may also be considered where they clearly fit the needs of Left Unsaid readers.

What We Are Looking For

• Original, useful writing created for human readers rather than search engines.
• Clear explanations grounded in relevant professional experience, research or recognised clinical knowledge.
• Nuanced writing that avoids diagnosing strangers or reducing complicated behaviour to simplistic labels.
• Practical insight without exaggerated promises or universal claims.
• Professional perspectives that add something our existing articles do not already say.
• Writing that is accessible to non-specialist readers without becoming superficial.

Contributor Credit

Where appropriate, published contributors can receive:

• A named author or expert credit.
• A short professional biography.
• Your relevant qualifications or professional role.
• A link to your practice, professional website or LinkedIn profile.

Any link must be relevant to the contributor and their professional work.

What We Do Not Accept

Left Unsaid is not an open guest-post marketplace.

• Paid link placements or requests to purchase a dofollow link.
• Articles written primarily to promote a company, app, product or service.
• Generic SEO agency submissions with unrelated commercial links.
• Previously published or lightly rewritten articles.
• Mass-produced AI content submitted without genuine expertise or original contribution.
• Content containing fabricated research, invented statistics or unverifiable clinical claims.
• Topics unrelated to relationships, emotional health or the editorial focus of Left Unsaid.
• Affiliate articles, advertorials or disguised sponsored content submitted as editorial contributions.

How to Propose a Contribution

Before You Send a Full Article

If you are contacting Left Unsaid for the first time, it is usually better to send a brief proposal before writing a long article.

This allows us to check whether:

• the topic fits the site;
• we already have similar content;
• your proposed angle adds something useful;
• the contribution is appropriate for your professional background.

This also helps avoid two contributors unknowingly working on the same subject.

Research and Clinical Claims

Where a contribution makes factual, psychological or clinical claims, we may ask for supporting research or reputable professional sources.

Contributors should avoid presenting contested theories as settled fact or implying that a reader can diagnose another person based on an online article.

Can Organisations or Brands Contribute?

Occasionally, where the contributor has genuine subject expertise and the proposed article is editorially useful.

However, a company affiliation does not guarantee publication, and promotional content will not be accepted as an editorial contribution.

Sponsored or commercial partnership enquiries should be identified clearly as such rather than submitted as guest articles.

What Happens After Publication?

Published contributions become part of the Left Unsaid editorial library and may be internally linked from relevant guides, topic libraries and related educational content.

We may update formatting, citations, internal links or minor wording later to keep the page useful and consistent with the site.

We will not materially change an attributed professional opinion in a way that misrepresents the contributor.

Please note: sending a proposal does not guarantee publication. Left Unsaid reserves the right to decline submissions that do not fit the site's editorial direction or standards.
