We publish practical, carefully sourced articles by people with first-hand experience. Pitch an editorial piece, or book a clearly labelled sponsored placement for your brand.
Editorial articles are free in both directions and earn you a byline. Sponsored placements are paid, labelled, and written to the same standard.
For practitioners, researchers and writers with real experience of a subject. No fee either way: we don’t pay for articles and we don’t charge for them.
For brands and agencies who want a dedicated article in front of our readers. Clearly labelled “Sponsored”, written to the same standard, and live permanently.
Close to one of these but not quite? Pitch it and say where it fits.
A working title, three or four lines on the angle, and why you’re the right person to write it. Two links to things you’ve written help.
If it fits, an editor replies with notes on scope, structure and the sources we’d like to see. Most pitches get an answer within two weeks.
Send a draft as a Google Doc or Word file with images you have the rights to use. We edit for clarity and check facts, then send it back for your approval.
Your article goes live under your byline, with an author profile, and is shared with our subscribers and social channels.
Read these before you write: drafts that don't meet them are sent back, however good the idea.
A dedicated article on Tech by Line, written to our house standard and clearly labelled. Tell us the topic and the links you’d like, and we’ll reply with a quote and a publishing date.

No. Editorial contributions are unpaid, and we don’t charge for them either. Writers get a byline, an author profile and a link to their work. Paid, sponsored placements are a separate track and are always labelled.
We reply to every pitch within two weeks. If you haven’t heard from us by then, feel free to follow up on the same email thread.
Not in full. You can publish an excerpt with a link to the original after it has been live for 30 days.
Yes. Sponsored articles carry a visible “Sponsored” label. Links are agreed in advance and the article is held to the same accuracy standards as everything else we publish.
The categories listed on this page. If your idea sits next to one of them and genuinely helps our readers, pitch it anyway and say which category you think it belongs in.
