What We Publish

Explainers

Definitive "what is X" pieces that a smart reader can finish and actually understand the thing. Recent ones: What Are AI Agents?, What Is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Concept-first, jargon defined on first use.

1,200–2,200 words

Analysis

Opinionated takes grounded in evidence — a launch, a benchmark, a head-to-head. Think WP Engine vs Pantheon or a read on the NVIDIA RTX Spark Superchip. Make a claim, back it with data, and say what it means for someone building.

1,400–2,500 words

How-Tos

Step-by-step walkthroughs a reader can follow start to finish. Standing up The Supabase MCP Server, implementing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), or hardening against phishing attacks. Real commands, real config, real screenshots.

1,200–2,000 words

Guidelines

We are selective, and the bar is editorial quality, not volume. A strong pitch shows you have a specific angle and the standing to write it. We edit closely, fact-check, and care about how a piece reads as much as what it says.

Before you pitch, read a few recent posts to calibrate tone. We write plainly, define terms once, and respect the reader's time. We do not run thinly-rewritten vendor announcements, listicles padded to hit a word count, or anything that reads like it was generated and shipped without a human in the loop.

You keep your byline and a short author bio that links back to your own site or profile.

Every Piece Must

  • Be original. Unpublished, written by you, not syndicated or spun from another article.
  • Run 1,200+ words. Long enough to actually cover the topic; depth over filler.
  • Have no AI slop. Use tools if you like, but the thinking, structure, and voice must be yours.
  • Cite sources. Link primary docs, benchmarks, and data. Claims need receipts.
  • Skip the closing CTA. End on a real conclusion, not a "sign up for our newsletter" pitch.
  • Stay on-beat. Map clearly to one of our six verticals and tag it accordingly.

How It Works

  1. Pitch the angle

    Send a tight paragraph: the topic, your angle, why it matters now, and a writing sample. No full drafts up front. We reply to every pitch within five business days.

  2. Draft & edit

    If we accept, you get an outline sign-off, a deadline, and our style guide. You draft, we edit together — usually one or two rounds for structure, accuracy, and clarity.

  3. Publish & get paid

    We schedule, add the featured image, and publish under your byline with a linked bio. Payment goes out on publication, and we promote the piece across our channels.

Pitch Us

Aim for a paragraph, not a full draft. Specific beats generic.

A published article, post, or repo write-up that shows how you write.
