Thank you so much for your interest in writing a guest post for the CatCoq blog! Please read through this entire page before submitting your post to be featured.

CatCoq is a design and illustration brand with a focus on education, art licensing and surface design. My primary mediums are watercolor and digital art, but I welcome guest submissions of all mediums! All I ask is that your blog post is written as a step-by-step art tutorial. Here are some examples of blog tutorials that share step-by-step instructions. I'm looking for your unique voice, so don't feel the need to copy these examples exactly or stay within these themes. But do use these as a guideline when preparing your post. 

General Guidelines

  • This blogging opportunity is open to artists and creatives who want to share a creative tutorial. I do not accept promotional or affiliate articles. 

  • Submitted articles are subject to grammar and spelling edits. 

  • Please note that articles are not paid.

  • Art rights remain with the original artists and will not be used in any way other than credited features within CatCoq.

  • I try to feature as many blog posts as possible, but I can only feature a certain amount each month. If your blog is selected to be featured, you will be notified via email. 

  • Due to a high volume of submissions, I am unable to respond to submissions that were not selected to be published.

  • Before submitting your work, please check out the blog for examples of how to set up your article and the type of voice to use.
