Guest post guidelines
These summarize our contributor guidelines and editorial standards. Pitches that don’t meet them are declined.
Content
- Original and unpublished: not posted on your blog, LinkedIn or anywhere else, before or after.
- 1,200 to 2,500 words that teach something specific. Evergreen guides, analysis and practitioner insight work best.
- Written from direct experience in your field, with a clear argument, not a summary of what readers already know.
- Relevant to readers in the UAE and GCC: regional regulation, markets, examples and data.
- Not promotional. Don’t pitch your own company’s products or services, and disclose any relationship with companies you mention.
Evidence and accuracy
- Every statistic and claim links to a primary source (regulator, official data, research, filings), with its date.
- We fact-check before publishing and may ask for your sources or working.
- AI tools can help you edit, but the ideas, experience and final text must be yours, and you’re responsible for every fact. Wholly AI-generated drafts are declined.
Style and format
- Plain, active English. Short paragraphs, descriptive subheadings (H2/H3), and lists or tables where they help.
- Start with the answer: a short summary up top, then the detail.
- Include three to five key takeaways and, where useful, two to four FAQs with concise answers.
- Send drafts as a Google Doc or Word file. Our editor keeps headings, lists, tables and links when we import it.
Links
- Up to two contextual links to authoritative, non-commercial sources that support the article, plus one link to your site or profile in your author bio.
- In line with our contributor policy, links in contributed articles are nofollow. We don’t sell links or accept paid or affiliate links in guest posts.
- Editors may remove or replace any link that doesn’t help the reader.
Images
- Optional. Send only images, charts or diagrams you own or have the rights to, with a caption and credit.
- Our editors choose the featured image.
Author profile
- Every contributor gets a byline and an author profile: a 50–80 word bio, your role, a headshot and your LinkedIn.
- We verify identity and professional background before a first piece goes live.
