The Pragmatic Engineer is the #1 technology newsletter on Substack. The publication cover topics relevant for those working at startups, scaleups and Big Tech. I (Gergely) am always looking for guest writers to cover interesting topics, coming from their hard-earned experience and expertise.
The profile of the "typical" reader:
- 85% of readers are experienced software engineers or engineering leaders
- 65% of readers work at either a startup, scaleup, or Big Tech
Take a look at past guest posts to get a sense of what published guest posts look like in depth and content.
Interested? Please fill out these details.
All guest posts are compensated (meaning authors are paid for the post), unless explicitly otherwise requested.
Examples of folks who have been great fits for guest writers include:
- In the process of writing a book. Engineers in the process of writing a book on a topic (e.g. the article on Thriving as a founding engineer by Apurva Chitnis or Paying down tech debt by Lou Franco might one day be part of a book.)
- Starting to write more regularly. People starting to write more regularly on topics they know well (e.g. Joshua Burgin on The past and future of modern backend practices)
- Sharing years of experience on a topic. People wanting to share significant experience they gathered with a broader group (e.g. Nicky Wrightson on What is a Staff+ engineer? or Nielet D'Mello on What is Security Engineering?)
- ... this is not an extensive list. If your experience and expertise could be interesting for senior+ software engineers/engineering leaders to read about: just send a pitch on the topic.
