Contributor Guidelines

Want to write for Women of Cenla? We’d love to have you! To ensure the best quality for our readers, please review our simple guidelines below before submitting.

āŒ What We Don't Accept We want to keep this space uplifting and professional. Therefore, we do not accept:

Overt Sales Pitches: Articles that are strictly advertisements or "hard sells" for a product. (If you want to advertise, please visit our Advertising page!)

Politics & divisiveness: We focus on community, faith, and business—not political debates.

Hate speech or negativity: We are here to build women up, not tear them down.

Article Length & Structure

Word Count: We recommend between 500 – 2500 words. Short enough to read on a phone, but long enough to provide value.

Formatting: Please use short paragraphs, bullet points, and headers (like this one!) to make your article easy to read.

Tone: Conversational, encouraging, and helpful. Write like you are having coffee with a friend.

SEO & Links

Your Bio Link: You are welcome to include one (1) link to your website or social media in your author bio.

Affiliate Links: Please do not include affiliate links within the body of the article unless previously approved by the editor.

Originality

Be Unique: We prefer original content written specifically for Women of Cenla.

Reprints: If this article has been published on your personal blog before, please let us know. We may still accept it, but we need to know for SEO purposes.

AI Policy: We love technology (obviously!), but we want your voice. Please do not submit 100% AI-generated copy without personal editing and human insight.

It Matters to the One: How Jess Lachney is Redefining Foster Care in Cenla

By M.A.

If you ask Jess Lachney who she is, she will tell you she is the President and Founder of Starfish Ministries of Cenla. But to the children she serves, she is often the person who provides safety during their most vulnerable moments.

​Lachney is on a mission to "redefine the future of children that are in foster care" in Central Louisiana. Her organization has become a critical resource for foster families, adoptive families, and kinship placements across the region.
