Beyond the Press Release

Article Submission
Opportunities

A press release announces your news. An article builds your authority. These 22 publications accept guest articles, op-eds, how-to pieces, and educational content from experts in your field. No press release required.

How this is different from a press release: A press release is a news announcement distributed to journalists. An article submission is a piece of original content you write and pitch directly to a publication's editor. Both build visibility -- but articles position you as a thought leader and can earn you a byline, a bio link, and a permanent page on a respected publication.

Featured Media Partner

How to Pitch an Article

A strong pitch takes 5 minutes to write and can earn you a byline that lasts forever.

1

Read the publication first

Spend 10 minutes reading recent articles. Understand their tone, format, and what topics they have not covered recently. Your pitch should fill a gap.

2

Write a one-paragraph pitch

Your pitch should say: who you are, what the article is about, why their readers will care, and why you are the right person to write it. Keep it under 200 words.

3

Follow their process exactly

If they have a submission form, use it. If they want a Word doc, send a Word doc. Editors notice when you have not read their guidelines.

Ready to announce your news too?

A press release and an article submission work best together. The press release gets you into newsfeeds and search results. The article builds your authority with a specific audience.
