Why Write for Sorry Board Game?

Contributing a guest post to a focused, independent board game blog offers real benefits for writers building their portfolio and authority:

Topics We Accept

We publish guest posts across our four core categories. If your article idea fits one of these areas, we would love to hear from you:

• Board Game Reviews & Recommendations — best-of lists, honest reviews, hidden gems and genre round-ups.
• How to Play Guides — clear rules explanations and beginner tutorials for popular board games.
• Strategy & Tips — winning strategies, game-night hosting advice and common mistakes to avoid.
• Family & Party Games — kids games, cooperative titles, party games and quick fillers.
• Tabletop Culture — the hobby, collecting, game-night ideas and the joy of playing together.

Guest Post Guidelines

To keep the quality bar high, every submission must meet these guidelines. Articles that follow them are reviewed and approved much faster:

We may lightly edit accepted posts for clarity, formatting and house style. We do not guarantee publication, and our editorial decision is final — but we always aim to reply to every serious pitch.

How to Submit Your Guest Post

Ready to write for us? Follow these simple steps to submit your board game guest post:

1. Pitch first. Email us 2–3 topic ideas with a one-line summary for each, so we can confirm the angle before you write.
2. Get the green light. We reply with the approved topic and any guidance for your article.
3. Write and format. Draft your original article following the guidelines above, with headings and a short author bio.
4. Submit for review. Send your finished draft as a Google Doc link or attached document.
5. Publish. Once approved and edited, we publish your post with your byline and share it with our audience.

Send everything to contact@sorryboardgame.com with the subject line “Guest Post Pitch”. Please include your name, a short bio, and links to any previous writing samples.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a fee to publish a guest post?

We consider high-quality contributions on their merit. Any current terms will be confirmed by email when we respond to your pitch — always ask us directly before writing.

Can I include a link back to my website?

Yes — one relevant, natural author link is allowed, provided it points to a safe, on-topic and reputable site. Excessive or spammy links will lead to rejection.

How long does the review take?

We usually respond to pitches and drafts within 2–3 business days. Every serious submission is read.

What word count works best?

Aim for 800–1,500 words. In-depth, genuinely helpful board game articles perform best and are most likely to be accepted.
