Blog FAQ

Can I write a blog covering____________?
  • Yes! You can write your blog covering pretty much any subject. Keep in mind that the audience will be primarily middle, high school, and college girls. You do not need our permission on a topic before writing a blog. Once reading your blog, we may email you with questions or clarifications before posting.
When should I write my blog?
  • Whenever you have time! In starting up the weekly blog posts again, we are trying to stockpile as many blogs as possible.
When should my blog be written by?
  • This is also flexible. We would prefer to receive blogs sooner rather than later, but we also want FIRST Ladies blogs to be thoughtful and well-written.
When will my blog be posted?
  • This is a question we don't have an answer to yet. In past years, blogs were posted every Saturday, but if we receive a large quantity of blogs, we may post more frequently. Every blog we receive (barring blogs we feel inappropriate) will be posted starting this September. If your blog is time-sensitive, let us know!
Where do I send my blog?
  • Please email your finished blog to [email protected]. You can attach your blog as a Google or Word document, or put your blog in the body of the email.
Can I put pictures in my blog?
  • Absolutely! However, we would prefer any pictures used to be your own. Make sure you have the permission of any person who is in the picture before using their picture. If using a picture that is not your own, please cite your source near the picture or in the bottom of the blog. 
How long should my blog be?
  • This is up to the writer. In the past, blogs have ranged from a few paragraphs to a few pages. We care more about quality than quantity.
Can I write multiple blogs?
  • Yes! You are welcome to write as many blogs as you want to covering as many subjects as you want to. Note that we will try to avoid posting multiple blogs from the same author one after another​
