The idea behind our blog is to talk about all the interesting, entertaining or bizarre ways that arts and crafts intersect life. This is not a collection of boring “this is what I had for lunch” articles. We want our posts to have mass appeal to people who may be looking for a new hobby, expand their knowledge on a current interest or find that new gadget that will make their life easier!
Dudley & Tyler blog does not endorse brands, we discuss them: raising questions, inviting honesty and transparent conversation from brand owners. Blog posts should be informative, creative, and bring something more to the table the “boiler plate” posts found on other crafting websites.
You are someone who:
- Can consistently contribute 15+ blog posts per month.
- Can write blog posts from ideas that come from the editor and/or come up with your own blog post ideas.
- Is a solid internet researcher.
- Is an information and news junkie who knows what's going on in the crafting world and what issues and interests are hot.
- Is timely with submissions for posting.
