Submission Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines before submitting:

  • Articles must be original
  • The article should not already be published elsewhere
  • Recommended length: 1,000–2,500+ words, depending on the topic
  • Use clear H2/H3 structure
  • Avoid excessive promotional language
  • Do not submit articles created primarily to obtain backlinks
  • External links must be relevant and genuinely useful to the reader
  • Commercial, brand-focused, or sponsored placements must be disclosed separately
  • We may edit titles, formatting, grammar, structure, links, and SEO elements before publication
  • We may also add relevant internal links, related DesignRise resources, editorial notes, images, captions, and SEO metadata to improve clarity, reader experience, and site structure
  • We reserve the right to decline submissions that do not fit DesignRise editorial standards

Editorial vs. Promotional Submissions

DesignRise welcomes contributor articles that share original ideas, practical knowledge, expert perspectives, and useful workflows for our readers.

This contributor page is intended for editorial submissions, expert articles, case studies, tutorials, and professional insights.

Articles submitted primarily to promote a company, product, service, tool, or backlink campaign may not be suitable for the contributor section.

Brand-focused collaborations, sponsored articles, paid placements, and promotional content are reviewed separately through our advertising and partnership opportunities.

About AI-Assisted Writing

AI tools may be used as part of the writing or research workflow, but submitted articles must be reviewed, edited, fact-checked, and shaped by the author.

We do not want generic, unedited AI-generated articles.

The final piece should reflect the author’s knowledge, judgment, and perspective.

Author Bio and Links

Accepted contributors receive an author credit and short bio.

You may include relevant links such as:

  • Personal website
  • Portfolio
  • LinkedIn profile
  • Professional social profile
  • Company website when directly relevant

DesignRise reserves the right to edit or remove links that are promotional, irrelevant, misleading, or included primarily for SEO purposes.

Links are included at DesignRise’s editorial discretion. We do not guarantee dofollow links, keyword-rich anchor text, or SEO-based link placement.

Links should support the author’s professional identity, add context for readers, or point to genuinely useful resources.

How to Submit

You can send either:

A pitch — if you want approval before writing the full article

or

A completed article — if it is already prepared.

Email your submission to:

hello@design-rise.com

Please include:

  • Your full name
  • Article title or proposed topic
  • Short description or outline
  • Short bio — 2–4 sentences
  • Portfolio, website, or LinkedIn profile
  • Links to previous writing, if available
  • The article or draft, if already completed

What Happens Next

Every submission from someone who wants to become an author for DesignRise is reviewed carefully before publication to make sure it fits our editorial standards and provides real value for readers.

If your topic is a good fit, we may contact you with editorial feedback, suggested changes, or additional questions.

Submitting an article does not guarantee publication.

Our goal is to build a useful, credible publication rather than publish content simply to increase volume.

Write Something Worth Saving

DesignRise is interested in articles that readers want to bookmark, reference, share, and return to.

If you have a useful workflow, an informed opinion, a design lesson, an experiment, a case study, or a better way of approaching creative technology, we would like to hear from you.
