Getting a byline on Psychology Today is more than a vanity win -it’s a credibility rocket that signals domain expertise to clients, partners and investors. For business leaders and entrepreneurs who communicate about leadership, workplace wellbeing, change management, decision-making or organizational psychology, Psychology Today reaches an engaged, informed audience and can amplify your thought leadership. Below is a practical, step-by-step guide (plus an offer from TheCconnects to fast-track the work for you).
Why Psychology Today matters for business voices
Psychology Today publishes content from clinicians, researchers and expert writers and is curated to high editorial standards. Articles and blogs there are read by clinicians, educated lay audiences and professionals who care about evidence, nuance and practical guidance -the exact audience C-Suite communicators want to reach when discussing human behavior in organizations.
Before you pitch: prepare like an editor
Editors at Psychology Today look for clear, original story ideas and writers who are qualified to speak on their topic. They use Submittable to collect blog proposals and expect a crisp case for why the blog or article matters now and why you should write it. Save time by preparing:
- A tight pitch : What’s the story or blog idea? Why now? Who is your audience?
- Qualifications paragraph: Your credentials, relevant experience, and why you’re the authority.
- 2–3 writing samples: Links or attachments to published work that demonstrates your voice and reporting chops.
- Suggested first posts or a proposed article outline: Show you’ve thought beyond the headline.
How to craft a pitch that gets read
Editors are busy -make yours obvious and editorially useful.
- Lead with the hook: One sentence that tells the editor the idea and its news/value angle.
- Explain relevance: Who will read this and why will they care? Tie to a current trend, organizational problem or new research.
- Show sources: List one or two credible studies, case examples or interview targets you can access.
- Deliverables & frequency: For a blog proposal, say whether you’ll post weekly, biweekly or monthly. For a single article, include desired word length and visuals if relevant.
- Ethics & transparency: Declare conflicts of interest (sponsorships, product ties) upfront. Psychology Today takes editorial integrity seriously
What editors evaluate (so optimize for these)
- Originality & relevance -new angles or practical frameworks.
- Authority -clinical, research or direct professional experience. If you aren’t a clinician, show rigorous research and reporting.
- Reader utility -clear takeaways, evidence, and tactical guidance for readers.
- Tone & clarity -accessible but disciplined writing that respects complexity.
- Compliance with editorial rules -including their policy on AI use: tools can be used for research/brainstorming, but contributors must certify that generative AI was not used to author or alter the text
