Editorial Guidelines for the Liberty Zeppelin.
Do you want to write for the Liberty Zeppelin?
Are you interested in writing for the Liberty Zeppelin? We are looking for brave, articulate freedom-lovers with the highest integrity who want to help us with our mission, which is to serve and uplift humanity by celebrating our inherent, inalienable rights; to recognize the prosperous society that good, productive people have created by realizing those rights; and to peacefully stand up to the power-mongers who seek to strip us of our freedoms.
Our goal is to inspire people to speak up, share the newsletter and to take actions that will protect individual liberty for future generations.
Editorial Guidelines
Broadly, here’s what we look for in deciding whether or not to publish an article submission:
High-quality: Articles should contain high-quality opinion and analysis. Articles must also be convincing, well-presented and actionable.
Tone: The primary tone that we like to have at the Liberty Zeppelin is optimistic and sincere. It should express a belief in the inherent goodness of people and our need to protect ourselves from deceptive power mongers who try to take our liberties away. As an example of the tone of the articles, read Glenn Meder’s articles in the Liberty Zeppelin. The tone should match the topic of the article you are writing.
Originality: If you are writing about well-covered issues, bring a new perspective that others may have missed. Articles generated largely by AI, or articles that could have been generated largely by AI, will not be accepted.
Compelling title: Your title should reflect the content of the article and tell readers why they must read the article. Bombastic titles and articles that don’t deliver on the title’s promise will be declined.
Clean: All articles must be proofread prior to submission, and be free of any grammatical or spelling mistakes.
No promotional content: We do not allow promotional content of any sort within articles. Examples include links to subscription pages, offers/deals, or any page that requests personal information from readers.
The human factor: We work to consistently select the best articles submitted for consideration. However, the selection of articles is highly discretionary, and can be impacted by many factors including the number of articles addressing similar themes, the timeliness of the topic, and the author’s intention. We strive to maintain an open and constructive dialogue with our analysts, and work closely with analysts whenever possible to help ensure article publication and optimization as relevant.
We are also open to the occasional humorous article.
We do not want religious articles. We talk about the importance of trusting God, and that our rights come from God, but for the most part this is as deep as we want to go in this direction. If your article is not about religious topics, but mentioning God is important to the point of your article, please leave it in and we will decide in the review process.
Specific Topics We Would Like Covered.
We would love to have a short (500 word max) regular column that talks about wins for liberty. This could be bullet points about small wins around the US or the world for liberty, or it could be on one or two topics. Please source the wins.
Article(s) or a regular column on how regular people can homeschool their children, why it’s important to do so and different ways they could do it, such as school pods, etc.
Article(s) or a regular column on the global attack on farmers. We want to show what governments around the world are doing to remove farmers from their lands, or alternatively, how local areas are fighting back and securing farmer’s rights.
Article(s) or a regular column that looks at the hoax of climate change, with very clear examples, such as how the NOAA continues to adjust historical climate data to prove their narrative of climate warming. See sources such as Tony Heller @tonyclimate (on Twitter) or Steve Milloy @junkscience. Such an article should have graphs and links, and must be well sourced.
Article(s) or a regular column on what is happening in China with the social credit system and how it is being used to enslave the population.
We would also love to have articles that talk about the vital importance of freedom of speech, the scientific method, COVID lies (with sources), simple explanations of sound money, the lies of the WEF, wisdom from the Founding Fathers, nutrition (not vegan), and health.
Review Process.
We highly encourage getting the post topic or title approved by us before you write the full piece to make sure it’s a good match.
Please note that all articles are reviewed by our editorial team. Not every article that is submitted to us is published, but our editors will work with you if it's close to meeting our standards. Please read this entire document before submitting your writing for us to review.
It may take up to a week for us to review your article.
We send an email confirmation to contributors if your article is approved for publication. If it is your first approval, we ask for a short bio and a headshot to get you set up.
An emailed acceptance does not, however, mean that the article will be published in its original form. The Liberty Zeppelin reserves the right to edit the article according to things like style, tone, format, structure, graphics, and more. We will also audit all included links to ensure that they are relevant and useful for our audience.
The Technicals
Articles should be between 500 and 1,000 words long. Deep dives can be longer.
They should be submitted in .docx (Word) format (not Google Docs).
Images should be submitted in jpg format.
All facts need to be sourced with links.
The article itself should not have any external links.
Include a brief bio and a link for more information about you (not a sales page).
We do not pay for articles unless a written and signed agreement has been made prior to publication. If there is no agreement, the full remuneration is to have your name associated with the article and the newsletter, and your link to your information.
The article must be fully written by you and no part of the article should be plagiarized or written by AI.
You must sign our article release form that gives us fully rights to publish the article indefinitely.
You must tell us whether the article is exclusive to our publication, or whether it has been published somewhere else.
Finally...
We encourage contributors to share in communities where they are present and reply to comments on the post as and when they notice them.
We’d also encourage and appreciate it if you shared the content on your social channels, and please feel free to add it to your portfolio or link back to your article in the future as you write additional pieces about that topic for other sites.
