Should I pitch my idea before writing the post?

Yes, please pitch to us first. We do not want you taking the trouble to write something up before we’ve approved your idea. If this is your first time pitching to us, please include one or two links to writing samples so we feel confident you’ll be able to execute your idea.

How long should posts be?

Please keep posts around 600 words. We will be forced to shorten it if goes on too long.

Will you edit my post?

Depends on how well you write it. We will make the necessary edits to ensure clarity and length limitations.

What do writers get?

They get their post emailed out to our newsletter list of 180,000 members. Unfortunately we are not in a position to pay contributors but we can offer a byline and a short bio (with a link) at the bottom of the post. We work hard to share these posts across the Web, which helps get visibility for both you and us.

What should my bio say?

A sentence or two about you, plus one link that can direct readers to your website, Twitter handle, or LinkedIn profile. Please send us your bio with your post and keep it between 1-3 sentences.
