Minka Guides is a lifestyle blog focused on non-normative approaches to identity, relationships and personal growth. 

It has a strong emphasis on queerness, gender, polyamory, solo life, self-healing and ageing, and includes a range of personal stories, advice and interviews.

Write for me

I'm open to submissions from writers whose personal experiences reflect the non-normative outlook of this blog. 

So, if you're interested in writing a guest blog, please get in touch and tell me a bit about yourself before sending me any pitches. Please note I am no longer publishing travel content.

If you're a brand looking to create content for this site, please refer to Collaborate with Me below.

Interview me

I'm always happy to be interviewed by publications and platforms or featured on panels I would read/watch/listen to/attend myself. Please get in touch with more information.
