Mental health and wellness sites that accept contributors
Fifteen psychology, mindfulness and wellbeing publications that publish outside writers — useful if you build a self-development or mental-health product.
Psychology and wellness readers are careful about who they listen to — rightly so. For a founder building a self-discovery, mindfulness or mental-health product, a thoughtful contributed essay on a respected site often does more than any ad.
These publications state on their own pages that they accept writing from outside contributors. Several also sell sponsorships; those are listed too.
How we built this list. On 10 October 2026 we opened each site's own pages — the home page, the "write for us", "advertise" and contact pages — and noted only what the site itself says it accepts. Every "open to" item links to the page where the site says so. We left out link farms and sites whose main business is selling links. Policies change, so read the linked page before you pitch.

Writing for wellness readers
- Lead with experience, not the product. Most of these sites remove or limit promotional links in contributed essays. The byline and the author bio are where your product lives.
- Be careful with health claims. Say what is known and cite it; say what is not. Editors here check.
- Read the guidelines twice. Many have strict rules on length, first-person voice and exclusivity.
