How to work with us

Last updated: October 2026

We are reader-supported, so our marketing is press and partnership, not ads. This page explains how to cover us, link to us, use our brand, and propose a partnership.

01

The short version

MudLittle is reader-supported. We do not sell display ads, and we do not publish sponsored or paid-placement articles. When we say marketing, we mean press, brand, and mission-aligned partnerships that help more families find the journal.

If you want to write about us, work with us, or share our work, this page is for you.

02

Press and media inquiries

We work with journalists, podcasters, and researchers who want to cite our reporting or interview our editorial and clinical advisors.

  • Interviews with our editors or advisory board.
  • Expert quotes on infant feeding, sleep, development, and parent wellbeing.
  • Fact-checking or background on a story you are reporting.
  • Review copies of upcoming pieces, on embargo.
03

Partnerships

We partner with organizations whose mission fits ours: breastfeeding support, parent wellbeing, early-childhood development, and evidence-based health. Every partnership is reviewed for editorial independence before it begins.

  • We disclose any partnership that touches an article, in the piece itself.
  • We do not let a partner review, edit, or approve our journalism.
  • No partner can pay to place an article in the journal.
  • We will say no to a partnership that asks us to soften or change a finding.
04

Brand assets

If you are writing about us and need our logo, colors, or a short description, you may use the materials below with these rules.

  • Use our logo on a light or white background, with clear space around it.
  • Do not recolor, stretch, or animate the logo, or place it on a busy photo.
  • Refer to us as MudLittle, one word, capital M and L.
  • For a short description: MudLittle is a reader-supported journal of evidence-based, heart-led stories for the early years.

Linking to us

Linking to our articles is always welcome and needs no permission. We appreciate a note when you do, so we can thank you and share your piece with our readers.

06

Our editorial-marketing firewall

Our editorial team and our marketing and partnerships work are separate. Editors choose what we cover and how we cover it. Marketing and partnership conversations do not assign, approve, or change articles. This separation is how we keep the trust that makes the journal worth reading.

Reader-supported means you

The Weekly Nest newsletter is free. If you want to support our work directly, share the journal with a parent who needs it, or pitch a story if you write in this space.

07

Where to find us

Our work lives in the journal and in the Weekly Nest. We also share highlights on social channels; follow the links in the footer.

  • The Weekly Nest, one letter each Sunday.
  • Instagram, for the early years in pictures.
  • Our RSS feed, for every new article.
