2025 Open Call for St. Louis Mom Contributors

Do you love bragging about why you love St. Louis? Do you love sharing your passion for our city through photos and video on social media? Do you feel passionate about encouraging fellow moms in motherhood? 

St. Louis Mom is growing! We are looking for local moms who are interested in joining our writing + content creator team – are you what we’re missing??! 

 Before you think more on the opportunity, please read the following guidelines and feel free to contact us with any questions. We want to make sure this is the best fit for YOU

Who and What We Are Looking For

St. Louis is a deeply rooted community with a beautiful tapestry of human beings representing a wide array of  backgrounds. We would love to continue to build a team that echoes the diversity of our community. With that in mind, the writers we are looking for are:

  • Moms in and around the greater St. Louis Metropolitan area who have a passion for motherhood and our city, who enjoy writing and content creation
  • Women with a sense of humor and zest for life who don’t tend to take themselves too seriously. St. Louis Mom is a parenting resource that seeks to unite our community
  • A diverse group of women who represent our community
  • Moms with children of all ages, from infants to college-age and beyond

THINK STL: We insist on keeping our content relevant to St. Louis. Blog posts and Instagram reels can feature places to go and things to do (we love a roundup of local ideas!) or more general topics to be approved by the editorial team. Political and/or divisive commentary is not permitted, nor are expletives.

THINK CONNECTING: We encourage our writers to find unique and thoughtful ways to engage our community. Authenticity in motherhood is key! 

ABOVE ALL: Write/create from your heart with the goal to spark joy in motherhood for our community and to encourage them on their motherhood journey!
