A how-to, a checklist, a lesson from a hard August, or what you wish you'd known in your first year. Send an idea first, or a full draft.

How publishing works

  1. Send your idea or draft with the form. Short is fine.
  2. A person reviews it, may suggest edits, and confirms the final version with you.
  3. It's published with your name, role and organization, linked to your contributor profile and the categories and topics it covers.

What we publish

  • Practical teaching: how something works, how to evaluate options, what to ask, what goes wrong.
  • Experience you can stand behind, with sources for facts and figures.
  • Your relationships disclosed: if you work for or with a company in the category, the guide says so.

What we don't publish

  • Sales pitches, product promotions or "why choose us" pieces.
  • Unsupported claims, superlatives, or comparisons that name competitors.
  • Content written by AI and presented as personal experience.
