I will be on vacation the week of November 23.  Although I won't be completely away from Consumerism Commentary and will likely be posting, I'd like to use that time to feature some guest authors as I try to do at some point every year.

I'm looking for something different this year... Perhaps something from someone who's not a regular "personal finance blogger," an article on some topic that's not normally discussed, or a unique way of approaching a common topic.

Contact me via email, direct message, or twitter if you have something you'd like to share or want to recommend a writer.

Some more details for those who have expressed interest.

It must be original content -- not posted anywhere else.

Best length is 800 words or more. 

No affiliate links.

You can link back to your own site if you have one, but only to a limited extent and only in context.

Feel free to suggest images from Flickr to complement the post... with an appropriate creative commons license.

Include a bio and I'll adapt it to an intro (about two sentences) and a tag (one sentence usually).

I'd also like to highlight that this isn't an opportunity for someone who's looking for "search engine optimization." This is for people who would like to receive some more reader exposure for their blog or who just like to write.  While there are SEO benefits to posting a guest article at Consumerism Commentary, and I will make sure that happens, if you include out-of-context links to your site on keywords designed to improve rankings, I probably won't use the article.

I should receive the article by November 21.

Make sure you talk to me before you start writing! :-)

Thanks!
