✍️ Write for Boondock Rebel

Contributor Guidelines / Submission Policy

Boondock Rebel is a mission-driven publishing platform built for people who’ve lived through systems that pretend to care — corporate, nonprofit, political, or personal — and are done staying quiet. We publish voices that challenge bullshit with clarity, not chaos. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

This isn’t a blog. This is rage with footnotes.

🔥 What We Publish

We’re looking for first-person narratives, insider perspectives, cultural critiques, and system breakdowns. We care less about your credentials and more about your insight.

We especially love pieces that:

• Expose hypocrisy in “ethical” industries
• Reveal how HR is used as a weapon
• Show how corporate abuse hides in plain sight
• Tackle toxic leadership, fake promotions, or DEI theater
• Speak to real professionals navigating dysfunction with clarity

And yes — we also publish sharp, structured rants, satire, and essays that say what everyone else is afraid to.

🚫 What We Don’t Publish

• Unedited stream-of-consciousness trauma dumps
• Personal attacks or naming names without legal review
• Hate speech, conspiracy, or defamation
• Content that’s clearly written by AI with no human insight

🧠 Editorial Process

• Editing: We reserve the right to edit for clarity, length, structure, and tone. You’ll be notified of major changes, but smaller edits may happen without approval.
• Anonymity: You may publish anonymously — just say so when you submit. We will never out your identity.
• Rights: You retain the rights to your work. We ask for non-exclusive publishing rights and permission to promote your piece across our channels.

💸 Compensation

We do not offer paid compensation at this time.
Contributors receive:

• Full byline and short bio
• Optional link to your website or social media
• Platform exposure to an aligned and growing audience

As Boondock Rebel grows, we may introduce bonuses, paid series, or profit-sharing for special projects. Contributors will always be notified in advance.

🔒 Revenue & Sponsorship Transparency

Boondock Rebel may feature sponsored content, partnerships, or paid placements. Contributor work is not part of those deals unless explicitly arranged.

Bringing in your own sponsor? Cool — but we handle the deal.
No outside affiliate links or promotional plugs allowed in submissions unless cleared by our editorial team.

📸 Images & Media

Most written content is accompanied by visuals created or selected by the Boondock Rebel team. You may suggest an image, but final curation is up to us.

All original images created by Boondock Rebel may include a watermark. Images from open or royalty-free sources will be credited where appropriate.

🧭 Final Word

Boondock Rebel is built by those who walked through the fire and came back with a notebook. This platform is about speaking up — but with structure, purpose, and power. If your piece punches up and pulls no punches, we want to read it.

Welcome to the rebellion.
