How should you submit a story?

We welcome technical writers who are passionate about sharing their expertise with others. If you are interested in writing for us, please follow the below steps.

Step 01: Preparing an article for submission

1. Choosing a Topic

Your post should be focused around modern frontend technologies, backend technologies, or even cloud computing (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

Next, when you’re brainstorming for topic ideas, it’s important to add value to your topic. It’s not about going over an idea, but rather, making your reader benefit out of your topic. Your reader should walk away learning something new.

So, after years of researching, we have created the perfect formula for writing articles. Try this formula in your writing — “What I care about” + “What can benefit other people in the community.”

If a topic piques your interest and has the potential to enhance the lives of others, it’s worth sharing. For instance, if you’re passionate about AWS and passionate about building highly resilient serverless solutions, consider writing about experiences in doing so, along with tips for potential readers for getting started.

2. Article Structure

Creating a well-structured post is an art in itself. Follow these simple rules to craft a compelling narrative:

Introduction: Grab your readers’ attention by succinctly explaining what your post is about and how it will benefit them. Keep this section short, comprising 2–3 paragraphs with 2–3 lines each.

Part 1: Dive right into the main content of your post. Utilize examples and code to make your points crystal clear.

Part 2 and 3: Build upon the previous sections and take your readers to the next level of understanding. Ensure a logical flow between sections, each building on the last and progressing toward the desired outcome.

Conclusion: Summarize key takeaways, preferably using bullet points. Encourage readers to comment and engage, turning your post into a dialogue rather than a lecture.

3. Logical Content Structure

Your post should exhibit a strong logical flow between sections.

Consider adopting a technique used by a Canadian Supreme Court judge:

Write a single sentence summarizing the essence of each paragraph and arrange them in a flowchart. If it makes sense, your structure is on the right track.

4. Article Content

While you’re writing for Enlear Academy, it’s important to keep your content up to these standards:

1. Reading time: Aim for a 5–10 minute read.
2. Level: We welcome posts for beginners and experts alike.
3. Paragraphs: Keep them concise, with 2–4 lines each.
4. Titles: Make them stand out.
5. Banner: Place it beneath the main title or subtitle.
6. Links: Use hyperlinks or cards for added context.
7. Recommended tags: Include relevant tags like JavaScript, web development, programming, open source, react, coding, and software development.
8. Grammar: Double-check your grammar; tools like Grammarly can be helpful.
9. Code: Embed code from GitHub or other sources, or use inline code blocks.
10. Images: Ensure you have the necessary rights and permissions for any images you use.
11. Writing style: Be honest, interesting, objective, and, above all, awesome.

Step 02: Writer onboarding
