Contributors

Write for readers first, then make the expertise count.

News Deli welcomes contributed ideas that bring genuine perspective, domain experience and strong structure. The best guest posts sound informed, grounded and readable. They do not dodge disclosure, lean on generic filler or ask readers to pretend a sales message is journalism.

Submit a story Review editorial standards

Writer and editor reviewing a draft submission with notes on sourcing and structure — The strongest contributed pieces are specific enough to help and restrained enough to trust.

What strong submissions share

A clear thesis

Good guest posts make a point early, support it with direct examples and keep the argument moving instead of circling the same idea.

Useful sourcing

Outside expertise matters most when it is tied to evidence, firsthand experience or documented examples readers can understand.

Respect for the reader

We look for writing that is practical, honest and well organized, not overly promotional or padded for length.

Before you send a draft

Check the fit, the claims and the disclosure notes.

A strong submission should sit naturally beside our existing coverage in business, technology, world affairs, culture, design or explainers. If the piece is closer to brand storytelling or a formal announcement, it may belong under Brand Stories or Submit Press Release instead.

Tell us who you are, why your perspective matters and whether there is any commercial interest or direct involvement that readers should know about. That clarity helps us decide how the piece should be framed and whether it belongs in the editorial flow at all.

Marked submission draft beside source notes and disclosure checklist — Disclosure and structure often decide whether a contributed draft feels credible.
