Write for Us Manufacturing: Manufacturing Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most manufacturing pitches are industry overviews or a sales page for one system. What this blog wants is the shop floor view: how a small manufacturer reduced waste, how a team brought in automation without stopping production, how a maker scaled from a workshop to a factory, and what the reader can apply in their own operation.

My readers are business owners, founders and operators, including makers who produce their own products. They already read my guides to how modern tools are reshaping manufacturing efficiency, making manufacturing safer, managing a small business supply chain and hiring a production manager. A manufacturing post has to help them make things better, safer or faster.

60-second manufacturing guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you run, managed or improved the process you are writing about
• Can you share a real example with a before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a small manufacturer or maker know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one machine, supplier or software

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Lean, quality and waste reduction lessons with the result
• Bringing in automation, robotics or AI without stopping production
• Scaling from a workshop or kitchen table to a factory
• Health and safety improvements that worked on a real floor
• Sourcing, suppliers and supply chain resilience
• Hiring, training and keeping production staff
• Marketing a manufacturing business to new customers
• Sustainable materials and processes in real production

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

What we don't accept

• Brochure copy for one machine, supplier or software
• Thin industry overviews with no shop floor example
• Promotional posts with no first hand experience
• Thin posts under 800 words
• 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 manufacturing pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the future of manufacturing." A strong one says "We make furniture in a small workshop and I want to show how we reorganised the floor and our order queue so jobs stopped waiting between stations, with the lead time figures before and after." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A waste or quality problem you fixed, with your own figures
• Introducing automation in a small plant
• Growing from maker to manufacturer
• A safety change that stuck
• Choosing and managing suppliers
• Training new production staff quickly
• Winning new trade customers
• Switching to more sustainable materials

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept manufacturing guest posts?

Yes. Manufacturing guest posts are welcome from factory owners, engineers, plant managers, operations leaders and makers who have run the work they write about. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline brochure copy.

What manufacturing topics do you accept?

Lean and quality, automation and AI, scaling production, health and safety, sourcing and suppliers, hiring and training, sustainable production and marketing a manufacturing business. The common thread is a real operating lesson.

Do you accept industrial technology reviews?

Yes, when the review comes from using the machine or software in real production over time and covers what did not work as well as what did. Posts written to sell one product are declined.

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 manufacturing 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 running or improving the production process you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
