Write for Us Technical Writing: Technical Writing Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Yes, technical writing guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is a technical writer, documentation lead, support or product person who writes guides, help content or specs and can show how their writing made something easier to use. We decline generic definitions of technical writing, tool brochures and posts with no document or result behind them.

Most technical writing pitches explain what a style guide is or list documentation tools. What this blog wants is the working view: how a small team turned a pile of support tickets into a help centre people use, how to interview an engineer and come away with a clear guide, how to keep docs current when the product ships every week, and what a business owner should document first.

My readers are business owners, founders and marketers who write guides, onboarding emails and help pages for their own customers. They already read my guides on building a style guide, grammar checkers for business and writing how-to content that converts. A technical writing post has to help them explain their product clearly with the team and time they have.

60-second technical writing guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

Have you written or maintained the kind of documentation you are writing about
Can you share a real example with what changed before and after
Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
Would a founder or support lead know what to do after reading it
Have you removed any sales pitch for one documentation tool or agency

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

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 technical writing pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about why technical writing matters for every business." A strong one says "I lead documentation at a small software company and I want to show how we rewrote our setup guide after watching five customers get stuck, what we cut, and how support questions on setup dropped afterwards." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

A help article you rewrote after watching users struggle
The template that made your team's guides consistent
How you interview engineers for clear, accurate docs
Release notes that customers read
Documentation you kept current through fast product changes
The first five documents a small business should write
Using AI for drafts while you stay responsible for accuracy
What you would do first if you started a docs function again

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept technical writing guest posts?

Yes. Technical writing guest posts are welcome from technical writers, documentation leads and product or support people who can share real documents and results. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline generic overviews and tool promotion.

What technical writing topics do you accept?

Help centres and knowledge bases, user manuals and step by step guides, style guides and templates, API and onboarding docs, release notes, working with subject matter experts, AI in documentation, and technical writing careers. The common thread is a real document and a lesson the reader can use.

Is this different from the technology guest post page?

Yes. This page is about the craft of explaining technical things clearly. Pitches about technology trends, software and gadgets suit the technology page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

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 a technical writing 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 experience writing or maintaining the documentation you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.

Brands and agencies: sponsored posts and link placements on this blog are handled separately from editorial guest posts. See how to work with me or email [email protected].
