Write for us

What we publish

• Guides. Method. How to scope, measure, pilot or supervise a specific kind of work. Concrete enough that a reader can follow it on Monday.
• News. Releases, regulation and enforcement, and what they change for someone making an automation decision this quarter.
• Reviews. Tools assessed on how they behave when they are wrong, not on their feature grid. See the existing reviews for the shape.
• Insights. Argument. A position, defended, about where the line between people and machines falls.

What we will not publish

• Anything that reads as a press release, including a good one.
• Listicles assembled from other listicles. If the research was a search results page, we will be able to tell.
• Pieces whose conclusion is “automate everything” or “automate nothing”. Both are available for free elsewhere.
• Content produced end to end by a language model. Use one to draft if you like, but the argument, the numbers and the experience have to be yours.

Standards

800 to 2,000 words. Claims about cost, error rates or time saved need a source or a description of how you measured them. Name the business or describe it precisely enough to be credible — “a 14-person accounting firm in Manchester” is fine, “a leading enterprise” is not.

You keep your byline and a link to your own site in the author line. We edit for clarity and house style and will send the edit back before publishing.

Links and disclosure

Plain rules, applied to everyone including us:

• Editorial placement is not for sale. We do not accept payment to publish a piece, and we do not pay contributors for editorial. If money changes hands in either direction, it is not an editorial piece.
• Links must earn their place. One link to your own site in the author line is standard. In-body links are fine where they support a claim. Links inserted for ranking rather than for the reader get removed at edit.
• Disclose any interest. If you work for, advise, hold equity in or are a reseller of a tool you mention, it goes in the piece, not in a footer.
• Sponsored content is labelled. We do run clearly marked sponsored placements, they sit outside the editorial sections, they carry rel="sponsored" on outbound links, and they are never presented as a review. Write to us for the rate card.

How to pitch

Send two or three sentences on the argument, the section you think it belongs in, and one line on why you are the person to write it. A full draft is welcome but not necessary and does not improve your odds. We reply within two working days either way.

Pitches go to hello@aiworkaudit.net with the section name in the subject line.
