Write for Us Architecture: Architecture Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most architecture content is either beautiful photos with no explanation or academic writing for other architects. What this blog wants is the business of architecture: how a practice wins clients, sets its fees, manages projects, uses technology and explains design to people who are not designers. Real projects, real numbers, plain English.

My readers are business owners, founders and marketers. Some run architecture and design practices, and many more hire architects for offices, shops, homes and extensions. An architecture post should help a practice run better or help a client work with an architect with more confidence.

60-second architecture guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you worked on the projects or practice processes you describe
• Can you share a real project, number or before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Would a practice owner or client know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any pitch for one practice, product or course

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How an architecture practice wins and keeps clients, with the results
• Fee proposals, scope creep and managing client expectations
• Design software, BIM and AI tools used on real projects
• Explaining design decisions to clients who are not designers
• Commercial, retail and office design lessons for business owners
• Sustainable and energy efficient design, with the costs and savings
• Planning permission and approvals, from someone who has been through them
• Marketing an architecture practice without a big budget
• Running a small practice: hiring, workload and cash flow

If your post could be published on any architecture site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Portfolio showcases with no lesson
• Trend lists and inspiration round ups
• Promotion of one practice, product or course
• Academic theory with no practical takeaway
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong architecture pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the most beautiful buildings in the world." A strong one says "Our three person practice stopped sending fixed fee quotes and moved to staged fees for residential work, and write offs from scope creep fell to almost nothing in a year, so I want to show the proposal template and the client conversation we use." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Winning architecture clients without paid advertising
• Staged fees and stopping scope creep
• What clients get wrong when they hire an architect
• AI and design software that saved hours on real projects
• Designing a shop, office or cafe that customers remember
• Sustainable design choices and their payback period
• Getting planning approval first time
• Presenting a design so non-designers say yes
• Growing a small practice without burning out
• Photographing and publishing projects to attract the right clients
• Working with builders and contractors without disputes
• Lessons from a project that went over budget

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept architecture guest posts?

Yes. Architecture guest posts are welcome from architects, designers and practice owners who can share real projects and what they learned. We publish practical articles and decline portfolio showcases and trend lists.

What architecture topics do you accept?

Practice management, winning clients, fees and proposals, design technology, commercial and residential design lessons, sustainability, planning, marketing a practice and working with clients and contractors.

Is this different from the interior design and construction pages?

Yes. This page covers architecture and the business of running a practice. Interior styling pitches suit the interior design page, and building site pitches suit the construction page, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

Can I share photos of my projects?

Yes, if you own the rights and they illustrate a point in the article. Photos should support the lesson, not replace it.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit an architecture guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own architecture experience. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
