Prototypr Publisher

We have a short review process for new contributors:

• The first post you publish will be reviewed. Usually that will happen within 24 hours during the work week.
• Once your post is reviewed and published, you’ll receive an email notification to let you know it’s live.
• ⭐️ For trustworthy writers, your account will be given a verified status, so you can publish without the review process going forward.

Sponsored content will not be accepted - you can contact us (hello at prototypr.io) directly about sponsorships.

Before thinking about a topic to write for, think about what interests you! Usually the best articles come from a writer's passion. Think about what you find interesting, and that could help and provide value to a reader. 

Share your career stories

For example, a career change that has had a large impact on your life could be a great topic. It's great to get your thoughts out there, and see who they connect with - you might just help someone going through a similar struggle.

What's important though, is to think about the person reading the article. As well as sharing your story, think how it could be helping them too. You might want to suggest how a reader can apply the lessons you've learned to their life.

Write tutorials

Whilst designing or coding something, you might come across new tools or methodologies that helped you. Why not share your experiences with those? Don't be scared of sharing because you're a beginner - some of the most valuable content comes from a beginner's eyes:

• How did you get started with a tool?
• Why did you choose to use this technology?
• What are the benefits and drawbacks?

Again, think about the reader when you're writing your experiences. Backing opinions with related links is recommended, and making your article actionable can make it much more useful.

Yes, republishing is welcome, as long as you are the owner of the content. Republishing can help project your story to a new audience.

You can set a canonical link in the confirmation modal that's shown when you hit publish. We aim to support the open web and personal blogs as much as possible!

You can see stats for your posts from the publishing dashboard in your profile. Click your avatar in the top right, followed by 'stories' from the dropdown menu.

We still accept contributions to the publication on Medium. You can still publish there and earn money from your writing.

However, we are no longer a Medium partner as we chose to discontinue our partnership with Medium in favour of running an open platform without paywalls and popups. 

This meant giving up ~$1k+ a month that medium pays to partner publications, so feel free to donate to support open design. Donations are redistributed to writers too.
