Yes, that’s you. We’re constantly seeking fresh voices to inspire our community and drive conversations in AI, technology, and innovation. If you have a concept that sparks debate or uncovers new angles in these fast-evolving fields, we’d love to explore it with you. No need for a revolutionary thesis right away—focus on delivering a unique viewpoint on challenges that keep innovators awake.
That said, contributing here demands commitment. We strive for excellence, so expect thorough guidance to refine your work. Upon acceptance, you’ll receive detailed input from our editorial team, collaborating intimately with an editor through iterations.
The payoff is immense: Reach a global audience of professionals, thought leaders, and decision-makers who could become collaborators, employers, or amplifiers of your ideas. Plus, the journey sharpens your skills in articulation, storytelling, and deepening your expertise on topics you already passion about.
What We’re Looking For
Submissions can range from a polished draft to an initial outline, or a concise pitch (one to two paragraphs outlining your core idea and its relevance to our audience) with supporting notes. The fuller your entry, the more targeted our response. We prioritize exclusive originals—nothing previously published (even on personal sites)—though we sometimes feature strong reposts with your approval, always crediting and linking back to the source.
Skip promotional blurbs or product plugs; they dim our enthusiasm.
Prior to sending, review our style guide and latest posts to align with our voice and format. Ensure your piece:
- Builds a strong central claim with a compelling narrative—not merely a roundup of hacks or observations.
- Infuses personality. Speak confidently, engagingly, and authentically.
- Targets professionals like AI engineers, tech strategists, ethicists, developers, or related roles.
- Backs claims with evidence, not assertions alone. Verify facts and reference credible sources as needed.
- Adheres to our style guide.

What We Publish
Our articles span 600–2,500 words, scaled to topic depth—averaging around 1,500. Expect a bespoke visual to accompany most pieces. Tones vary: From approachable and practical for how-tos, to deeply analytical for trend explorations. All must thoughtfully probe timely issues in AI, tech ethics, tools, and beyond.
How to Submit (and What Happens Next)
Email your pitch. Google Docs are ideal for seamless inline edits, but plaintext, Markdown, or HTML links work too. (Hold off on asset zips until an editor requests them.)
Post-submission flow:
- An editor assesses fit, then the team convenes weekly for collective review and brainstorming.
- Feedback consolidates and returns to you promptly. (Rares are outright accepts on first pass, but we’ll flag potential if it’s promising.)
- Revise per notes and resubmit; we’ll reconvene to decide on proceeding.
- On greenlight, pair with an editor for polishing structure, logic, and flair.
- Final tweaks lead to scheduling—exact dates firm up near launch, prioritizing timely relevance.
