Hello to all budding writers! We’re always on the lookout for fresh voices to join our community. If you have an idea that can inspire and engage our readers while contributing to the growth of our industry, we invite you to share it with us.
You don’t need to wait for a groundbreaking concept; simply offer a new perspective on a topic that excites your passion. However, we want to be upfront about our expectations. Becoming a contributor to our platform, Top Facts requires dedication and effort. We’re committed to helping you bring out the best in your article and will guide you to meet our high standards.
Upon acceptance, you’ll receive thorough feedback from our team and collaborate closely with an editor for revisions. While the journey may be challenging, it’s also highly rewarding. Your work will be read by thousands of peers, potential employers, clients, or publishers, providing you with valuable exposure. Additionally, you’ll gain insights into effective communication, and writing skills, and even a deeper understanding of the subject matter you thought you knew well.
Submission Guidelines: What We’re Seeking
Feel free to submit a rough draft, partial draft, or a concise pitch (a paragraph summarizing your argument and its significance to our readers), along with an outline. The more comprehensive your submission, the better feedback we can provide.
Please note that we only accept original content; we do not publish material that has been previously featured elsewhere, including personal blogs.
Before submitting, take a look at our style guide and recent articles to familiarize yourself with the structure and formatting we expect. Ensure that your submission:
- Clearly presents a thesis and argument, avoiding a mere list of tips.
- Demonstrates a unique voice — be bold, captivating, and relatable.
- Targets an audience of designers, developers, content strategists, information architects, or similar professionals.
- Supports arguments with facts, not just personal opinions. We encourage fact-checking and proper citation.
- Adheres to our style guide.
For insights into the writing process, please refer to “Writing is Thinking” and explore “So You Want to Write an Article?” to avoid common submission pitfalls.
What We Publish
Our articles usually range from 600 to 2,500 words, depending on the complexity of the subject, with an average length of around 1,500 words. Custom illustrations often accompany articles, which can vary in style from casual to rigorously structured and edited. However, all submissions should dive deep into current and cutting-edge topics within the web industry.
How to Share Your Work (and What to Expect Next)
To submit your work, please use the following email address: topfactsuk@gmail.com. We prefer Google documents for more efficient feedback, but plain text, Markdown, or HTML formats are also acceptable (please avoid sending ZIP files unless specifically requested).
Here’s an overview of our submission process:
- An editor will review your submission to evaluate its potential fit, followed by a team discussion held once a week.
- The editor will gather feedback and provide notes. While initial acceptance is rare, we’ll express our interest if we find your work suitable.
- Address our comments and send the revised draft. The team will review it again and confirm acceptance.
- If your article is accepted, an editor will collaborate with you on organization, argumentation, and style.
- Your publication will be scheduled once revisions are complete, with a specific publication date provided as we approach the go-live date.
We’re eagerly awaiting your contributions!
Thank you.
