Greetings to all prospective authors! We are on a perpetual quest to discover new voices to join our ever-evolving community. If you possess an idea that can captivate and enlighten our readers while contributing to the growth of our industry, we extend a warm invitation for you to share it with us. There’s no need to hold back on a groundbreaking concept; simply provide a distinct perspective on a topic that fuels your enthusiasm.
Our Commitment
However, it’s crucial to be forthright about our expectations. Joining our ranks as a contributor to our platform, The Home Owners, necessitates dedication and hard work. We are unwavering in our commitment to help you bring out the best in your writing, and we’ll challenge you to meet our exacting standards. Once your submission earns acceptance, you will receive thorough feedback from our team and collaborate closely with an editor for essential revisions.
The Rewards
While this journey may be arduous, it is equally rewarding. Your work will be read by thousands of your peers, potential employers, clients, or publishers, providing you with invaluable exposure. Moreover, you’ll refine your skills in effective communication and writing, and develop a deeper understanding of your chosen subject matter, even if you thought you were well-versed.
Submission Criteria: What We’re After
Feel free to submit a rough draft, a partial draft, or a concise pitch (a paragraph summarizing your argument and its relevance to our readers), along with an outline. The more comprehensive your submission, the more insightful feedback we can provide.
Please take note that we exclusively accept original content; we do not publish material that has been previously featured elsewhere, including personal blogs.
Our Style and Standards
Before you submit, acquaint yourself with our style guide and recent articles to grasp the structure and formatting we require. Ensure that your submission:
- Presents a clear thesis and argument, avoiding a mere list of tips.
- Showcases a unique voice that is bold, engaging, and relatable.
- Targets an audience of designers, developers, content strategists, information architects, or similar professionals.
- Supports arguments with facts, not merely personal opinions. We advocate for meticulous fact-checking and proper citation.
- Adheres to our style guide.

What We Publish
Our articles typically range from 600 to 2,500 words, contingent on the intricacy of the subject, with an average length of around 1,500 words. Custom illustrations often accompany articles, and the tone can vary from casual to rigorously structured and edited. Nevertheless, all submissions should delve profoundly into current and cutting-edge topics within the web industry.
