Yes, you. We're always looking for new authors. If you've got an idea that will challenge our readers and move our industry forward, we want to hear about it. Just aim to bring readers a fresh perspective on a topic that's keeping you up at night.

What we publish?
We accept submissions for original, feature-length articles only (not blog posts or columns). These typically run between 1,000 and 2,000 words. We do not publish anything that's been published elsewhere (including on your blog). You may submit a rough draft, a partial draft, or a short pitch (a paragraph or two summarizing your argument and why it's important to our readers) paired with an outline. The more complete your submission is, the better feedback we can give you.

Do we pay authors?
Yes! It's also rewarding. We pay for your articles on per word basis as well as pay for views if you enroll as a frequent writer for us. Thousands of readers will read your work, and you'll also learn a lot in the process about communicating your ideas, about writing, and even about the topic you thought you already knew when you started. Please contact us below with you ideas and short biography we are looking forward to team with you.

For an article you've already written it must be:

• Accurate and factual: This is the #1 most important rule for our site If what you submit isn't factual and isn't well researched, it won't get accepted.
• Educational and entertaining: so illustrating some interesting fact, historical event, or the like, while not reading like a dictionary.
• Written by you with none of it plagiarized from somewhere else. (note: We always double check this before accepting an article.)
• Not published elsewhere on the web. (published elsewhere in a magazine, book, or the like is OK, so long as you still own the rights to the article; please tell us if it's been published in one of these places and where/when)

For an article pitch, please include:

• The interesting fact or thing you'll be covering and what angle you plan to take.
• The title you think would work best for the article. (This title should be the subject of your email to us).
• A rough estimate of what you think the length of the article will be.
• Any relevant information about yourself and your experience level. If you've been published elsewhere or have examples of your work, those are always a plus to send along with a link.
