Who we're looking for

Builders who write like they build — clearly.

We're not looking for content mills or recycled listicles. We're looking for developers, designers, founders and consultants with one real opinion, one real project, or one real lesson worth sharing.

01

You've done the work

You've shipped the feature, run the migration, or made the mistake you're writing about — not summarized someone else's blog post.

02

You have a point of view

Your piece takes a position — a recommendation, a trade-off, a "do this, not that" — instead of listing options with no conclusion.

03

You write it yourself

Original drafts only. We check for originality and can tell the difference between your voice and a generic AI paraphrase.

Topics we cover

Eight lanes. Pick the one you know best.

Off-topic pitches are our most common rejection reason — start here before you write a word.

Web Development

Architecture, performance, frameworks, real launches.

Mobile Development

Native, cross-platform, app-store lessons.

UI / UX Design

Research, systems, and decisions behind the pixels.

QA & Testing

Process, automation, catching bugs before users do.

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure, CI/CD, scaling war stories.

Cybersecurity

Practical hardening, audits, incident write-ups.

SaaS & Product

Pricing, onboarding, retention, build-vs-buy calls.

IT Consulting

Vendor selection, migrations, technical debt.
How submission works

Four steps, start to byline.

This is the exact order we review pieces in — skipping a step is the fastest way to a "not right now."

01Pitch

Send a 3–5 line pitch, not a finished draft

Email your topic, angle, and one line on your relevant experience to contribute@teamdisquantified.org. Tell us why you're the right person to write it.

~72h to hear back
02Draft

Write 1,200–2,000 original words

Once approved, you get a two-week window. Plain language, real examples, and at minimum one concrete takeaway the reader can act on.

2-week window
03Review

One editorial pass, together

Our editor suggests structural and clarity edits via tracked comments. You keep full control over the final wording — we don't rewrite your voice.

3–5 business days
04Publish

Live, with a full byline and bio

Your piece goes live with your name, photo, a 1–2 line bio, and one contextual link back to your site or profile.

1 backlink included
What you get

This is what your published post looks like.

Every guest piece runs with the same treatment as our staff writing — full byline, category tag, and read time, no "sponsored" label.

Before you write

Do's and don'ts we actually enforce.

This is the checklist our editor uses. Match it and review goes fast.

✓ Do this

  • Lead with a real project, number, or decision
  • Use short paragraphs and concrete examples
  • Cite sources for any stat or claim
  • Suggest your own headline and a working title

✕ Skip this

  • Generic "10 tips for X" listicles with no depth
  • Thinly-veiled product pitches or press releases
  • Multiple outbound links or affiliate links
  • Content already published elsewhere, in any form
Questions

Frequently asked, honestly answered.

Do you pay for guest posts? +

Not currently. In exchange, you get a full byline, a bio with one backlink, and distribution to our newsletter and social channels.

Can I republish my piece elsewhere later? +

Yes, after 30 days, as long as you credit Team Disquantified as the original publisher with a link back to the live post.

How many links can I include? +

One contextual link in the body if it genuinely supports a claim, plus one link in your author bio. No exceptions for extra links.

What if my pitch gets rejected? +

We'll tell you why in one or two lines. Most rejections are about topic fit, not writing quality — you're welcome to pitch again.
