WRITE FOR US
Share your expertise with the project delivery community.
WORKSHOP IT is a software company centred around building solutions that make project delivery easier.
WORKSHOP IT also publishes The Lodge, a blog covering topics relevant to project delivery professionals.
What we are looking for
We’re interested in hearing from people with experience to share, ideas worth exploring and perspectives that can help others do their work better. If you have something useful to contribute, we’d like to hear from you.
We welcome original articles that share practical knowledge, lessons learned and fresh perspectives on the challenges of delivering projects. Topics of interest include:
- Program Management
- Project Management
- Business Analysis
- Testing
- Development
- Methodologies and frameworks (e.g. SCRUM)
- Certification pathways
- Technologies (e.g. AI)
- Other relevant topics (networking, social, etc.)
Why we welcome guest contributions
The benefit for WORKSHOP IT
Creating useful content takes time. Guest contributions allow us to broaden the range of topics covered by The Lodge while continuing to publish practical insights for the project delivery community.
We also encourage contributors to share their published articles with their professional networks, helping the content reach a wider audience.
The benefit for you
We don’t accept every submission. Having an article published gives you an opportunity to share your expertise, build your professional profile and showcase your work.
You can also feature your published article on your LinkedIn profile, providing a useful reference to your experience and professional interests.
There is no charge to contribute, and we do not pay for contributions. We offer this opportunity because it helps us expand the range of useful content available to our readers, and because we understand the value of opportunities to build your professional profile.
Editorial guidelines
Please read these carefully to avoid some common themes we are seeing with submissions.
Original content
Articles should be original, written by the contributor and not published elsewhere in their entirety.
Use of AI
You’re welcome to use AI tools to assist with research, drafting or editing. However, we don’t accept content that relies on generic AI-generated material, formulaic writing or recognisable AI writing tropes. Contributors remain responsible for the accuracy, originality and quality of their submissions.
Practical and informative
We prioritise useful insights, real-world experience and original perspectives over generic advice or promotional content.
Length and format
As a guide, articles should be around 800–1,500 words. Include a proposed title and use headings to make the content easy to navigate. Images are optional.
A thumbnail image will be created by us which is consistent with the look and feel of our site. Colours, fonts and general look and feel of the article will be consistent with our existing content.
Editing
We review accepted articles for readability, structure and search engine optimisation. This may include:
- Make small changes to the title and sub-headings so that it is easier for search engines to discover your article, and
- Hyperlink from relevant key words in your article to at least one authoritative external source (if you don’t do this yourself), and
- Link to other blog articles internally.
We’ll send you the edited article for your approval before publication.
Attribution
Published articles will credit the contributor by name and will always include a link to their LinkedIn profile. We recommend checking your profile’s visibility setting as some are hidden when clicked from links outside of LinkedIn.
Please let us know if you would like your photo to be included with the published article.
Articles must be attributed by an individual. Not a business.
Links and promotion
Guest articles are intended to share useful knowledge and professional experience, not to provide a vehicle for link building. We welcome relevant references and links that genuinely help readers, but we don’t accept articles submitted primarily to obtain backlinks.
As a general rule, if your content is attributed to a business rather than a named individual, ends with a call to action or otherwise sounds like marketing, then it will be deemed promotional and is better suited for a paid service elsewhere. If you are looking for such a service please contact us for a referral (on a different website).
Publication
All submissions are subject to editorial review. Submission does not guarantee publication.
Ownership
Contributors retain ownership of their work and grant WORKSHOP IT permission to publish accepted articles on its website. Your content will not be posted by us elsewhere.
Once published, we will remove the article from this website if requested to do so by you.
Sharing and posting elsewhere
Once posted, we encourage you to share the article elsewhere. Please share using the full URL and do not use a link shortening service.
To avoid competing versions of the same article appearing across multiple websites, please share a link to the original publication rather than republishing the complete article elsewhere. You’re welcome to write an adapted version for another platform that links back to the original.
