At Frequentech.com, we’re constantly on the lookout for passionate authors who can offer fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that will inspire our readers and push the tech industry forward. Whether you have a groundbreaking concept or a unique take on a familiar topic, we want to hear from you. You don’t need to wait for a revolutionary idea—just aim to engage our readers with something new and thought-provoking.
The Challenge and Reward of Writing for Us
Writing for Frequentech.com is a rewarding but rigorous process. We strive for excellence and will provide you with extensive feedback and support to ensure your article reaches its full potential. You’ll work closely with an editor through several rounds of revisions, honing your ideas and refining your writing.
The rewards are significant. Your work will be read by thousands of peers, potential employers, clients, and industry leaders. You’ll not only gain exposure but also deepen your understanding of your chosen topic and improve your ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.
What We’re Looking For
You can submit a rough draft, partial draft, or a concise pitch (a paragraph or two) summarizing your argument and its relevance to our readers, along with an outline. The more complete your submission, the better feedback we can provide. Please note that we only accept original content; we do not publish material that has appeared elsewhere, including personal blogs.
Avoid sending press releases or sales pitches—they won’t be considered.
Preparing Your Submission
Before submitting, review our style guide and recent articles to understand our preferred structure and formatting. Your submission should:
- Present a clear thesis with a compelling argument, not just a list of tips.
- Have a distinct voice. Be bold, engaging, and authentic.
- Be tailored to our audience of designers, developers, content strategists, information architects, or similar professionals.
- Include well-supported arguments, with facts and sources where appropriate.
- Adhere to our style guide.

What We Publish
Our articles range from 600 to 2,500 words, depending on the complexity of the subject, with 1,500 words being typical. Articles can be casual and conversational or structured and meticulously edited. All should be thoughtful explorations of current and emerging topics in the tech industry. We often accompany articles with custom illustrations to enhance the content.
How to Submit
Email your submission to us. We prefer Google documents for easy collaboration with our editors, but you can also send plaintext files, Markdown files, or HTML links. (Please avoid sending ZIP files unless requested.)
The Submission Process
- Initial Review: An editor will review your submission to assess its potential fit. If it seems promising, the entire team will review it weekly.
- Feedback: The editor will compile feedback from the team and get back to you with notes. We rarely accept an article on the first submission but will let you know if we’re interested.
- Revisions: Address our comments and send back your revised draft. The team will review it again and decide on acceptance.
- Editing: If accepted, an editor will work closely with you on organization, argumentation, and style.
- Publication: Once revisions are complete, we’ll schedule your article for publication. We can provide a specific date once the article is nearly ready to go live.
We look forward to reading your submissions and working with you to produce high-quality content that enriches the tech community.
