Write for Cloud to Print

We run guest posts from people who know home and small-office printing well: technicians, long-term enthusiasts, print-shop staff with something to say to civilians, teachers who have wrestled with twenty laptops and one laser. If that is you, read on.

What we want

• How-to pieces with a concrete problem and a tested solution.
• Deeper explanations of one specific thing (ISO paper sizes, duplex mechanics, colour profiles at home) that most sites skim over.
• Real-world buyer thinking, not sponsored "best of" lists.
• Stories of a printer going wrong and what fixed it, told clearly enough that a reader with the same fault can follow along.
• Standards and interoperability: AirPrint, Mopria, IPP, PCL, PostScript, PDF/A for archiving.

What we will not take

• Thinly rewritten manufacturer PR.
• Posts whose main purpose is a link to an affiliate shop or a sign-up form.
• Articles about gambling, loans, adult content, crypto or pharmacy, under any angle.
• Content written by a large language model without a human author reviewing and taking responsibility for every claim.
• Anonymous submissions. A pen name is fine; we need to know who you are.

Length and format

Between 800 and 1,600 words. British English. Short paragraphs, honest subheadings, no "in conclusion" closings. If you want to include a chart or a diagram, send the data and we will draw it in the site's own style.

Originality and disclosure

Work must be yours and must not be published elsewhere at the same time. If you have a commercial interest in a product, standard or service mentioned in the piece, you have to disclose it, and the piece has to make sense without that product being the hero.

Outside links

One to three per piece, to sources that are themselves reliable: Wikipedia, GOV.UK, trade bodies, manufacturer documentation, independent reviews such as Which?. No links to our other sites. No paid links, ever.

How to pitch

Email [email protected] with "Pitch" in the subject line. Tell us in two or three paragraphs what you want to write, who it is for, and what you know that other people do not. Please do not send the finished piece on the first email. We reply to pitches, not to drafts.

What we pay

We publish guest posts for exposure, not for fees, and we are honest about it. If you want a paid commission we are not the right home. If you want your byline on a piece that will be edited carefully and read by the right people, this is a good place.
