We are always interested in articles that:

  • Highlight different emerging platforms, incredible tools, or resources that help drive big results
  • Strong POV articles about industry trends featuring multiple viewpoints
  • Offer real talk about the reality of working in PR, where it’s all headed, and client management
  • Give an in-depth look at a PR campaign from start to finish
  • Interview editors and journalists about their pitch preferences

Before you submit

Here are a few tips to increase the chances that we will happily publish your work:

  • Aim to both education and entertain! Most often, we say no to articles because they are too general or devoid of personality! We love detailed articles with real-life examples, resources and humor. Framing your topic around data or a trending topic makes us weak in the knees. We care about YOUR experience and that of those in your circle. 
  • Double check the archives:  Search the site to see what else we may have published on your topic. Be sure to pitch a clear, fresh angle or an update to the original. “How to land a PR Internship,” is okay, but “6 things to do your first day as a PR Intern,” is better.
  • Don’t be shady: If your piece mentions a client, disclose the nature of your relationship within the article. We won’t publish anything that is overly self-promotional (that’s a sponsored post).
  • Original content only: Please only submit pieces that are original and not published anywhere else. If you are pitching multiple publications and we agree to run your piece, consider it exclusive to us.
  • Ask your network: If you can bring in additional quotes (3 is the magic number) from your network to strengthen your position or show diversity in perspective, well, we love that!
