Website For Engineers authors are typically Engineers, just like its readers!
We want engineers to share the engineering tips and tricks they have learned, and we will provide plenty of support along the way. If you have an engineering idea to share, here is how to turn it into a Website For Engineers article.
Our Goals
Our primary goal is to deliver quality, plagiarism-free content. We’d be honoured to have you share your experiences from a recent engineering project, lessons learned, and what worked and what didn’t in a truly Engineering article. Your work will be rewarded with an honorarium and full credit. (Obviously.
Before getting your idea, please read this information. It will greatly improve the chances of being accepted.
Who Can Submit An Article?
You can! (Unless you are a spammer) Our authors range from experienced writers to first-timers.
As our process includes editorial oversight, we can be a great place to publish your first article. You need an idea, something you want to share, and the ability to put together an outline that shows your concept is likely to interest our Website for Engineers readers.
From that point on, we can provide any help you need as you write and revise your article.
Experienced writers all started somewhere; we would be honoured for you to start your writing career with us.
What Kind Of Engineering Articles Do We Publish?
We publish engineering articles written by engineers at the engineering firm, for engineers or engineering students at the engineering firm.
These engineering include:
- Tutorials — Either helping engineers or engineering students get started with a new technology, or walking them through the process of building any engineering project.
- Opinion — Do you have a strong opinion on something in the engineering industry? with research to back it up? These can make useful talking points.
- Ultimate Guides — Longer engineering articles digging into an engineering subject. A reference piece that engineers or engineering students will return to time and time again.
- Case Studies — What did you or your engineering company learn from a particular engineering project? They need to focus on practical examples which will be useful to other engineers or engineering students, not just a good story.
What Do We Not Publish?
We work with individual authors. We will immediately reject pieces which are submitted on behalf of your CEO or a nameless member of your team.
Suppose your CEO would like to write for us, great! Send them this guide, and they can contact you the same way everyone else does.
We do not publish engineering articles that are obvious attempts at content marketing. While your experience with your engineering company and your product is valuable, pieces full of links to your product or walkthroughs of how to use it will be rejected.
Think about what you have learned, not how you can sell to our readers. Press releases, listicles, and product reviews are unlikely to interest our engineering readers.
Sponsored Posts
We offer sponsored post options for engineering companies looking to increase their visibility by sponsoring great content.
Again, this is not a way to post an advert, but rather a way for you to put your name to some great content for our engineering readers.
Examples might include a company with an engineering performance tool sponsoring a series of articles on performance, or an engineering service sponsoring an article on engineering design, and so on.
Please, contact us if you would like to discuss this.
Who Are We Publishing For?
The Website’s audience is professional engineers, engineering students, and others involved in the engineering industry.
When you write, assume that your reader is a knowledgeable peer. Writing a beginner’s engineering article about a technology is great (we are all beginners at something), but you can assume a starting point of familiarity with engineering technologies.
Practical advice that comes from real experience, plus well-researched opinion, is what we aim for. See the writing and style guide for more tips on writing for our audience.
What Will We Ask Of You?
When we give your outline the green light and ask you to write an engineering article, we ask that:
- The engineering article is an original piece of work for Website For Engineers, not something you have published elsewhere.
- You will work with our editor.
- You will establish a delivery timeline with our editor.
- You commit to our publishing policy, which is especially important to consider if you are writing about something learned while working on your engineering products. You can always ask our editor if anything is unclear.
What Will a Website for Engineers Do For You?
Creating great content is a two-way process:
- We will pay you promptly on publication of your engineering article.
- We have lovely, experienced editors and reviewers with specific knowledge in the subjects we cover. They will help ensure your article hits the mark.
- We provide you with a byline, your photograph, and a biography. So, our readers can learn more about you and your work.
- We will promote your engineering article on Twitter, Facebook, TrueSocial, Pinterest, BlueSky, and in our WhatsApp channels.
Contact Us
We would like to see an outline initially, rather than a complete engineering article. We can often help authors to refine their outline to something we can accept, but if they had sent the completed piece to us, we would have rejected it.
Contact us via our email, info [at] websiteforengineers [dot] com, and include:
- Who is the target audience for the engineering article?
- What will the target audience take away from reading the particular engineering article?
- Why are you the best person to write this article? Include links to other writing and details of your expertise.
- Your proposed outline. This will be 250-350 words with the main headings and details of what you will cover in each section.
We’re always glad to make new contacts and explore new possibilities. We would be pleased to welcome you on board our Website for Engineers team!
Good luck!
