Write

Revised August 13, 2010

Auto Trends welcomes contributions from guest writers.  At this time, we cannot pay our contributors, however we do offer an excellent opportunity for people wanting to gain recognition from the automotive community.

Write For Us

That being said,  we ask all contributors to first explain what they would like to write by filling out our contact form and selecting the appropriate subject from the pull down menu. In this case you would choose “I would like to contribute material to Auto Trends” while filling out as much of the remaining information as possible.

Please do not use the contact form to include your article. If we are interested in your topic, we will contact you separately.

Guest Post Guidelines

Essentially, what we want from you is the following:

• Background information including your experience writing about cars. You do not need to be a professional automotive writer, but it would certainly help your cause if you supplied related links to some of your best work.

• We cannot republish your press release. However, if your company recently released a new automotive product such as a car part or accessory, then that information can come in handy to our readers. What you offer to Auto Trends must be original material; not a copy of your release.

• The theme of this site is about industry trends, therefore please keep your subject as close to that as possible. We might consider your personal experience driving a car if that story is interesting, relevant, and unique. Again, we are not looking to republish previously published material and you must agree not to publish your article elsewhere.

• Minimum word count is 400 to a maximum of approximately 750 words.

If we accept your article, then please include a biography which can include up to two links. These links can go to separate sites, but they should not be search engine optimized artificially. We will give you a byline for your work. All photos submitted with your article must have the permission of the photographer for publishing on Auto Trends. Photos not attributed will not be used.
