Write For Us

Website For Engineers authors are typically Engineers, just like Website For Engineers readers!

We want engineers to share the engineering tips and tricks they have learned, and we will provide you with plenty of help 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, or things that worked and failed 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 to show us that your idea is likely to be of interest to our Website for Engineers readers.

From that point on, we can give you any help that 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 who work at the engineering firm, for engineers or engineering students who work 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 and the 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.

If your CEO would like to write for us, great! Send them this guide, and they can make contact in the same way as everyone else.

We do not publish engineering articles which are an obvious attempt at content marketing. While your experience in your engineering company and with your product is valuable, pieces full of links to your product, or which are a walkthrough of how to use your product, 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 be interesting to us or our engineering readers.

Who Are We Publishing For?

The Website for Engineers audience is professional engineers, engineering students, and others involved in the engineering business.

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 how to write 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 timeline for delivery 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 give you a byline with your photograph and biography. So, our readers can find out 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.

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 very happy to welcome you on board our Website For Engineers team!

Good luck!
