Pitch us something useful
We accept guest pieces about working from home in the UK. They need to be practical, original and written for someone sitting at a home desk, rather than for a search engine.
Topics we would like to see
- Making a small space work: box rooms, shared rooms, flats with no spare table
- Noise, heat, cold and light in British homes during the working day
- Routines for shift patterns, part-time hours and caring around work
- Hybrid working: splitting the week, carrying kit, keeping two set-ups comfortable
- Staying connected and less alone, especially in small or remote teams
- Practical guidance for managers of home-based staff
- Accessibility and working from home with a disability or long-term condition
- First-hand accounts of what worked and what did not, under your own name
What we will decline
- Gambling, adult, pharmaceutical, crypto or get-rich-from-home content
- Sales pages dressed as articles, and "top ten" lists that exist to sell a product
- Medical claims or treatment advice. Mental health pieces stay general and point to the NHS or a professional
- Personal legal, tax or investment recommendations
- Invented statistics, surveys, case studies or quotes, and any figure without a source we can open
- Text spun from other articles, or generated by a tool and not checked by a person
- Advice written for other countries, unless it is clearly relevant to the UK
Length and style
Aim for 900 to 1,500 words. Answer the question early, use plain British English and link to the source for any rule or figure. Official sources such as HSE, Acas, GOV.UK and the NHS are best where they apply. If you have a photo, it must be your own or clearly licensed for commercial use, and we need the details.
Original work and disclosure
Your piece must be your own and not published anywhere else. If you work for, or are paid by, a business the piece mentions, you must tell us, and we may say so on the page. Links must be relevant and useful to the reader. We edit for accuracy, length and tone, and we may decline a piece at any stage, including after a draft.
How to pitch
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Guest post pitch". Tell us the question your article answers, give a short outline, say who you are and why you are the right person to write it, and list any links you would like to include along with any commercial connection. A link to something you have written before helps.
