Write for Us Video Production: Video Production Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Search for video production write for us and you'll mostly find agency homepages, directories of production companies and generic guest post pages that take anything with the word video in it. Very little of it tells a working editor or producer what a blog wants from them. What I want is the knowledge that never makes the showreel: how a script was cut down to suit a client who'd lose interest halfway, why two small lights beat one big softbox in a cramped office, and how a revision round was kept from turning into five.

My readers are business owners, marketers and creators who know they need more video and don't have a studio. They already use my guides to getting started with video production for social media, the best storyboard software and where to find free b-roll. A video production post has to help them plan, shoot or edit something better next week, with the kit and the time they've already got.

60-second video production guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you produce, edit, shoot or direct video as part of your work
• Is every technique shown with a real example from a job you've done
• Would the advice still hold if the reader used different editing software
• Does your opening tell the reader what they'll be able to do by the end
• Have you left out viewership claims you can't back up

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Scripting and storyboarding short business videos
• Editing workflow, from first assembly to final export
• Lighting and sound for small rooms and small teams
• Shooting interviews and testimonials that don't feel staged
• Working with clients: briefs, approvals, revisions and scope
• Cut-downs, captions and formats for each channel a business posts on
• Planning a shoot day so nothing important gets missed
• Building an in-house video setup a team will keep using

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

What we look for in video production posts

Each row pairs a video production subject with the kind of post I'd run, and the kind I'd send back.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Scripting and storyboarding	Process write-ups with a real example	Generic why video matters posts
Editing workflow	Software-agnostic technique, shortcuts and handoff checklists	Tool reviews written for a vendor
Equipment and lighting	Small setups the writer has tested on real shoots	Spec lists copied from retailers
Producing for clients	Briefs, approvals, revisions and how scope is agreed	Case studies with no real detail
Distribution	Cut-downs and captions for the channels a business posts on	Platform news rewritten

Who I'd love to hear from

The best video production posts here come from people with footage on their hard drive: freelance producers and editors, camera operators, small studio owners and the in-house video leads who make a company's content week after week. Marketers who brief and approve video are welcome too, as long as the post is about the making and not only the plan. If a pitch only works because it names one piece of software, it belongs in a review, not here.

What we don't accept

• Tool reviews or tutorials written to promote one editing app
• Spec lists copied from retailer pages
• Generic posts on why video matters for business
• Viewership or conversion claims with nothing behind them
• Thin posts, or posts already published on 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 video production pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I'd like to write about why every business needs video in its marketing." A strong one says "I've edited client testimonials for years, and I want to show how I plan a two camera interview in a small office, the sound check I never skip, and how I cut one recording into a long version and three short ones without the speaker repeating themselves." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Turning a one page brief into a shot list the client signs off
• Lighting a talking head in a room with one window
• Getting clean sound without a dedicated sound person
• Agreeing revision rounds up front, and stopping the extra ones
• Editing a long interview into short clips for social channels
• Directing nervous staff who've never been on camera
• File naming and handoff checklists that save hours later
• Planning captions and vertical framing before the shoot, not after

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept video production guest posts?

Yes. Video production guest posts are welcome from producers, editors, camera operators, small studios and in-house video teams. I publish practical posts on scripting, shooting, lighting, editing and working with clients, and decline software promotion, copied spec lists and claims about views that can't be checked.

What video production topics do you accept?

Scripting and storyboarding, editing workflow, lighting and sound for small spaces, interviews and testimonials, client briefs and revisions, and cutting video down for each channel. Each post should leave a reader able to plan, shoot or edit something better.

Should I pitch a video marketing post here instead?

If your post is about strategy, distribution plans or what to measure, the video marketing page suits it better. This page is for the craft of making the video itself. Every pitch reaches the same editor, so pick the page that fits and I'll take it from there.

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 video production 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 producing, shooting or editing video. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
