Advertising Disclosure and Prohibited Content
The purpose of these policies is to provide guidance on the types of advertising content that are allowed on the Allwork.Space website and other digital properties, including the Future of Work Podcast. These policies are designed to not only abide by laws, but to also ensure a safe and positive experience for our users. While these policies are meant to guide decisions on which advertisements are acceptable, each ad will be judged individually on how it impacts the Allwork.Space brand, and therefore can be denied even if the ad does not technically qualify as prohibited content or content subject to further review. At any time, Allwork.Space reserves the right to accept or reject advertising for any product or service submitted for publication and to remove advertising that has been posted.

Our Editorial Process & Ownership
The process goes something like this
- You submit your completed draft through the online form; this is the only accepted method to submit articles
- We review your submission (This can take up to 10 business days, please be patient.)
- You will receive notice of our decision to publish your submission as a contribution (free of charge) or offer you a paid solution instead.
Acceptable file formats: Send completed drafts as a Word attachment or as a Google doc link. If submitting via Google docs, ensure that it is accessible by anyone and has Edit permission enabled. Please include an author bio (60-100 words) when submitting a piece to Allwork.Space.
Editorial revisions are part of the process; we may ask for edits, additions, or clarifications. We do not share edits or revisions with authors prior to publication.
If we choose to publish your article:
- All articles are subject to editing.
- Headlines and subheads are subject to change.

- Links may be added for context.
- Art will be added at the discretion of Allwork.Space.

Editorial Guidelines
Please ensure your content follows the guidelines below before you submit your article to Allwork.Space. If your article does not meet our guidelines and style, it will not be considered. We’re unable to give specific feedback about why a submission may not have been selected for publication if this guidance isn’t followed.
- We like clean, concise, no frills copy. If a topic warrants 1,500 words, go for it; if it only warrants 500 words, that’s more than enough.
- Always use reputable sources, and give direct, clear credit where credit is due (this can include an online link or information regarding where the data comes from).
- We use American spelling and grammar; Queen’s English is not used.
- We love the Oxford comma.
- Our tone of voice is friendly and professional.
- Avoid first person references, unless you’re submitting an opinion piece.
- Avoid acronyms unless defined early in article and later repeated throughout the copy.
- We don’t mind contractions.
- If you’re writing about coworking, make sure you know the lingo; people are not coworking users, they’re coworking members. Remember: it’s coworking, not co-working.
- We encourage the use of links in articles, but don’t go crazy, and don’t use links for self-promotion unless you have paid for placement of the article (see below). Add links to other Allwork.Space articles when appropriate. You can also link to highly relevant or valuable off-site pieces.
- Please submit 3 potential headlines for your piece.
- Please include 3 bullet points before the body text that serve as a summary of the highlights of your article.
- Include a written our summary for your article (160 characters maximum).
- We encourage authors to include visual material for their articles, or suggestions for relevant graphics, but this is not required. Please ensure that you have the necessary permissions/copyright to publish any images included within your article, and include a caption for each. Images must be sent as separate attachments and not within the copy of the article (although you can indicate suggested image placement within the copy).
Without exceptions, all articles submitted must:
- be original and exclusive to Allwork.Space; articles cannot be published elsewhere prior to release on Allwork.Space.
- remain exclusive to our site for 21 days after publication, after which time they may be reprinted in part or in full on other sites, with a link back to the original article on Allwork.Space.
- include the author’s full name.
- be written by a person, not an agency, PR department or marketing agencies (if you wish to have an article authored by an agency or business, please contact [email protected]).
- not include affiliate links.*
Over-the-top self-promotion (of yourself or your company) will prevent us from considering your article to be published on Allwork.Space as a free contribution. If you are looking to promote yourself or your company, we have several paid submission options. Click here for more information.
