Become a Contributor

3 min read

Write for Industry Contents if you have something specific to say about how AI is actually changing your line of work, backed by evidence rather than opinion.

Industry Contents is an independent intelligence desk covering how AI is reshaping legal, ecommerce, finance, marketing, and retail. We are looking for practitioners, not generalists: lawyers, ecommerce operators, finance professionals, and other domain experts who have real exposure to how AI is changing their field and want to write about it.

You do not need to be a professional writer. You need to know your subject well enough to say something that is not already sitting in a hundred other AI explainer posts.

Why become a contributor to Industry Contents

Most publications covering AI in business run on the same small pool of quoted experts and syndicated commentary. We want to break that pattern by publishing people who are actually inside the work: a lawyer who has run an AI contract review tool against real client documents, an ecommerce operator who has fought a wave of AI generated counterfeits, a finance professional who has seen a forecasting model fail in a way the vendor did not disclose. If that is you, we want to hear from you, and our standards are laid out in full in How We Report.

Becoming a contributor does not mean writing a generic explainer. It means bringing one specific, checkable claim from your own work, the kind of detail that would not show up in a piece written by someone who only read about your industry rather than worked in it. This is the same standard behind reputable contributor programs elsewhere, such as the Harvard Business Review’s own contributor guidelines, which prioritise a single well evidenced argument over broad coverage.

Once you pitch, an editor reviews it and gets back to you, usually within a few business days. If we take the piece, you will work with an editor through at least one round of revisions to make sure the claim is airtight and every source is checked. We do not publish unedited contributor drafts.

Guidelines

Every piece we run holds to the same standard we hold ourselves to:

Peer-reviewed studies, government data, official reports, or your own direct professional experience.
We are not looking for a balanced survey of what AI means for your industry. We are looking for what you, specifically, have seen change in your work, backed by evidence.
If a claim comes from vendor-published data, we say so. If something is a projection rather than a fact, we say so.

Tell us the specific claim or finding you want to share, and what sources or firsthand experience you would draw on.

You can also pitch directly by emailing [email protected].
