Contributor Guidelines

At My Gen Tec, we’re looking for people who pay attention to the world around them—people who ask thoughtful questions, break down complex ideas, and communicate in a way that feels real, not robotic.

You don’t need a big title or an impressive résumé to write for us. What you do need is a clear point of view and the ability to express it in a way readers can understand. Whether you’ve been writing for years or you’re trying it for the first time, great thinking and honest storytelling matter more than anything else.

What We Look For

We publish stories that respect our readers’ time—pieces that offer something new, useful, or thought-provoking.

Bring us:

  • A fresh angle on a trending tech topic

  • A smart observation that others might have missed

  • Insights that help people understand technology, innovation, gadgets, gaming, business, science, or the digital world around them

  • Ideas that actually matter to everyday users, not just industry insiders

Our categories help with organisation, not limitations. If your gadget review touches business trends, that’s great. If your tech analysis has a cultural angle, even better. Write what you genuinely understand and care about.

How We Want You to Write

Write like you’re explaining something to a curious friend—intelligent, but not drowning in jargon.

  • Keep your language clear and natural

  • Avoid robotic phrases and corporate buzzwords

  • Short and sharp is usually better than long and wandering

  • Most articles fall between 600 and 1,000 words, but take the space you need to make your point

  • Use contractions—your writing should sound human, not mechanical

Our editors are here to guide, not judge. If you’re unsure about length, direction, or style, just ask.

What We Don’t Publish

To keep standards high, we avoid:

  • Plagiarised, repurposed, or borrowed content

  • Any form of AI-generated writing—drafts, outlines, or “small edits” included

  • Articles that feel generic, repetitive, or machine-produced

  • Sloppy errors—names, dates, statistics, and claims must be correct

  • Content made solely for promotions, marketing, or backlinks

  • Shallow hot takes created just to spark reactions

Our readers come to My Gen Tec because they want real voices, not recycled content.

Tone & Approach

Strong opinions are welcome. Personal attacks are not.

Make your case with clarity, logic, and respect. If you’re covering something controversial, explain your reasoning and consider what a reader who disagrees might think. Aim to persuade, not belittle.

Editing Process

Our editors may refine sentences to improve clarity or flow, but your voice stays yours.

If something needs context, evidence, or correction, we’ll reach out. Nothing major will change without your approval.

The goal is to make your article stronger—not to rewrite it into something you didn’t intend.

How to Pitch an Idea

Have something in mind? Send us:

  • The core topic

  • Your angle

  • And why it matters to readers right now

No formal proposals, no corporate formatting—just a clear explanation of what you want to write and why it deserves space on our site.

We respond quickly with approval, questions, or suggestions.

After Your Work Goes Live

Once your piece is published, feel free to share it anywhere you like.

Join in on discussions, respond to comments, and engage with readers. Many contributors keep coming back because they enjoy the community here. Whether you write once or become a regular, you’re welcome either way.

What We’re Not Interested In

  • Press releases rewritten as articles

  • Sponsored content disguised as opinions

  • Pieces created just for SEO or link-building

  • Headlines designed purely as clickbait

  • Trend-chasing stories with no real insight

If your goal is to help readers understand something meaningful, we want you here. If your goal is marketing, this isn’t the place.

A Few Final Notes

Deadlines matter—especially for time-sensitive topics. If you pitch a timely idea, please deliver it while it’s still relevant.

Respond to editor messages promptly so we can keep the publishing process smooth.

And yes, multiple pitches are welcome. Not all of them will be accepted, and that’s perfectly normal.

The Heart of It

My Gen Tec was created because tech content online often feels repetitive and lifeless. We’re trying to build something different—a place where real people write meaningful stories that other real people actually want to read.

If that aligns with what you want to create, send us your pitch.
We’re ready when you are.
