DIYtalk publishes practical, experience-based content for homeowners who prefer doing things themselves. If you have genuine hands-on knowledge and can write clearly about it, I would like to hear from you.
What We Publish
- How-to guides: Step-by-step repair and installation walkthroughs with real detail, not surface-level overviews
- Tool and product reviews: Honest assessments based on actual use, not spec sheets
- Project builds: Original woodworking, renovation, and outdoor projects with plans or measurements
- Troubleshooting guides: Diagnosing and fixing common household problems
What We Look For
- First-hand experience. You have actually done the project, repair, or installation you are writing about.
- Specific, actionable advice. Exact measurements, part numbers, tool recommendations, and step-by-step sequences. Not general tips.
- Clean writing. Clear sentences, logical structure, no filler. We edit for style, but the substance needs to be solid.
- Original content. Nothing previously published elsewhere.
What We Do Not Publish
- Thinly rewritten content from other sites
- AI-generated articles submitted without real expertise behind them
- Sponsored posts disguised as editorial content
- Articles without genuine hands-on experience
How to Pitch
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Write for DIYtalk” and include:
- A brief description of your proposed topic (2-3 sentences)
- Why you are qualified to write about it (your hands-on experience with the subject)
- A link to a writing sample or published work, if available
I review every pitch personally. If there is a fit, I will respond within a few days with next steps. If you do not hear back within a week, the topic was not the right match, but you are welcome to pitch again with a different idea.
