BE A GUEST
You’ve got a lot to say - say it here!
What to expect as a guest.
Guests provide the bulk of a roundtable article, and as a guest, your thoughts will be the central purpose of the piece. Guests should have acceptable grammar and spelling, and should be able to articulate their thoughts in a way that is easy to understand and never unnecessarily negative or hateful.
- Receive email questions from a roundtable moderator immediately after the episode airs.
- Answer questions within 24 hours
- Keep answers between 50 and 100 words
- Join our roundtable Facebook group where fans like yourself engage (and commenting can win you a mystery gift related to pop culture!)
- Share your article across social media and with your family and friends
What to expect as a moderator.
Moderators do a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Moderators gather guests, send out questions, and format articles. They also write the intro and closing paragraphs of roundtable articles. It’s more time consuming than being a guest, but it’s also more rewarding - moderators get the byline on roundtable articles. Moderators should have excellent grammar and spelling, and should be able to eloquently summarize an episode. They should also have (or be willing to learn) WordPress skills.
- You will be assigned a senior editor to help you through the process of creating, publishing and sharing your roundtable article.
- Find guests for your roundtable. (We provide the method and strategy on how to do this)
- Create 7 questions and email them to guests after each episode.
- Create your roundtable article and share it on social media.

"In one of the best episodes of the season yet, “There but for the Grace of god, Go I” was absolutely perfect. From the writing, to the cinematography and the scares in between, everything flowed so well!" – Moderator Sophia
