Remember your chance to write a GUEST RANT!
Here’s how:
Guest Rant Guidelines
1) As the title of your Rant, complete the following statement using a few words or a short phrase.
I really wish people knew more about X .
Please note that your topic can be as grave or as whimsical—or anywhere in between—as you like. For examples:
I really wish people knew more about the benefits of fly fishing.
I really wish people knew more about the craft of visual storytelling in film.
I really wish people knew more about online affective computing.
I really wish people knew more about the potential of plant medicine therapy.
I really wish people knew more about aquifers.
I really wish people knew more about the importance of international education.
I really wish people knew more about Beanie Babies.
I really wish people knew more about our stupid Electoral College.
2) In the body of your Rant, in whatever order or mixture you think best, please provide at least the following three things.
1. A specific definition of your topic. (That is, what you mean exactly by “the benefits of fly fishing” or “the craft of visual storytelling in film” or “online affective computing” and so forth.)
2. How and why you’re qualified to write about this topic. (In other words, what is your claim to knowledge, experience, and authority in this subject?)
3. Exactly why you wish people knew more about this topic. What does it matter? Why is it important for people to be better informed about this issue? So what?
3) Your Rant can be as brief as you like, but please try not to write more than about 2,000 words or so.
If you absolutely need more space, let ‘er rip. You and I will work together to get your Rant into a shape satisfactory to both of us.
If you have questions, please email me. If you want to take a shot at writing a Guest Rant, please write away and email it to me at: kirkclaytoncombe@gmail.com.
NOTE: I can’t guarantee that I’ll publish your piece on Rant Against the Regime. But I can guarantee that I’ll do everything I can to help you work your Rant into publishable shape so that you, too, can garner Substack fortune and fame!!!
