We publish guest posts on the IEEBEE blog a handful of times a year. If you make things with paper and tape — and you like explaining how — we'd like to hear from you.
We're an independent design studio: original washi tape on traditional Japanese paper with gold-foil detailing, plus notebooks and bullet journal supplies. That's the neighbourhood we know, and it's the kind of writing our readers turn up for. If you're not sure whether your work fits, have a look at the blogs on our Blogs We Love page — that's the register we're after.
What we're looking for
Original, hands-on writing about:
- Bullet journaling — spreads, trackers, layouts, handwriting and doodling
- Washi tape techniques — decorating, collaging, borders, gift wrap, repairs, storage
- Scrapbooking and memory keeping
- Paper craft tutorials — cards, boxes, mini books, junk journals, ephemera
- Planner setups, planning systems, and journaling habits that actually stuck
- Beginner guides: what to buy first, what to skip, what you learned the hard way
What we ask
- Unpublished elsewhere. Not on your own blog, not on another site, not a reprint or a syndicated piece.
- 800 words or more. Long enough to actually teach something. There's no upper limit if the piece earns it.
- Your own photos, please. Real process shots are what make a tutorial worth reading — we'll take those over stock images every time. Horizontal shots around 1200px wide work best.
- Written by you. Not by an agency, not by a tool, not on behalf of a client.
- Links in the body: keep them useful. Link to your own tutorials where they genuinely help the reader — two or three is plenty. No affiliate or referral links, and no links to anyone paying you. Anything that doesn't serve the reader gets cut in editing.
- You don't have to mention IEEBEE. If our tape happens to be in your photos, lovely. If not, that's completely fine — we'd rather have a good post.
Your byline
Every published guest post ends with an author bio card: your name, a sentence or two in your own words, and a link to your blog or social profile so readers can find you. Credit where it's due — that's the whole point of a byline.
A few honest notes
- We do not accept paid placements, link insertions, or SEO guest posts. We don't sell links, we don't add links to posts that are already published, and we can't run articles written to place a client's URL. Pitches like that won't get a reply — please save us both the time. We don't do link exchanges either.
- We reserve the right to edit for clarity, length, formatting and house style, and to decline any submission without explaining why.
- Guest posts are unpaid. You keep the copyright to your words and photos, and you're giving us permission to publish, edit and share the piece (including in our newsletter and on social). Please don't republish it in full elsewhere, including on your own blog — a short excerpt linking back is always welcome. And please only send work that's yours to send: your own photos, no third-party images, patterns or brand artwork you don't have the rights to.
- We keep published posts up as long as they're useful, but we may update, unpublish or adjust a link later — for example if a site goes offline or changes hands.
- We're a small team, so give us up to two weeks. If you haven't heard back by then, assume it's a no and take the piece elsewhere with our blessing.
