Military Spouse Advocacy Network (MSAN) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to create stronger military families through education, empowerment, and support.

MSAN is seeking contributions to our blog at militaryspouseadvocacynetwork.org in the following areas:

• Career & Employment (esp. including topics of leadership)

• Mental Health & Wellness

• Deployment & Reintegration

• Military Caregiver Support

• Education

• New Military Spouse Support

• Financial Readiness

• Gold Star & Surviving Spouse Support

Contributors should be members of the military community:

Dependents, active duty service members & retired veterans including the Reserves and Guard, post 9-11 Gold Star spouses, surviving spouses, as well as trusted figures within organizations serving the military community, are welcome to submit blog posts.

We are currently not accepting submissions from individuals and organizations outside of the military community, nor any promotion of businesses.

Blogs should be well-researched and relevant to the military lifestyle. Most blogs should be between 600-800 words. Feature articles of up to 1300 words may be submitted as well, but should contain relevant quotes, subheadings, references, and informative resources. 

MSAN does not publish blog posts on political or controversial topics.

We are dedicated to sharing trusted, official resources and positive support to military spouses. As such, submissions should reflect positive outcomes or encouragement, and include vetted sources (i.e. Department of Defense). 

Submissions will be edited and returned for writers' review and approval before posting the final product. Headlines will be created by MSAN staff. Photos may be submitted for use. All graphics will be created by MSAN's Communications & Marketing team.

All blog posts must be submitted with references linked and attached. Blog submissions should be unique to MSAN–please do not submit articles that have been previously published on any other platform.

Contributing writers wishing to submit their work originally published on MSAN to other publications MUST provide written notification to media@milspouseadvocacynetwork.org, as well as ensure that the republished article mentions that the piece was originally published at militaryspouseadvocacynetwork.org.

We do not offer payment at this time. Please allow two weeks for a response to blog submissions. For questions about your submission status after two weeks, please email media@milspouseadvocacynetwork.org.
