Article Writing Guidelines
These guidelines ensure that content on Postpear meets our quality standards and serves our readers well. Please read them carefully before submitting your work.
Quick Checklist
- Article is 100% original and not published elsewhere
- Minimum 600 words, ideally 800–2000 words
- Clear headline that accurately describes the content
- No promotional content, affiliate links or paid mentions
- Factual claims are accurate and verifiable
- Images are properly licensed (CC0, Unsplash, Pexels, or your own)
- No hate speech, discrimination or harmful content
- Correct grammar and spelling (use a spell-checker)
1. Content Standards
Postpear is a community platform that welcomes a wide range of topics — technology, lifestyle, travel, culture, business, science, personal development, and more. We celebrate diverse voices and perspectives.
All content must be original work authored by you. We do not accept AI-generated articles, content scraped from other sources, or articles that have been published elsewhere. Originality is non-negotiable.
2. Article Length and Format
We recommend articles between 800 and 2000 words. Shorter pieces (minimum 600 words) may be accepted if the topic warrants brevity. Long-form pieces over 2000 words are welcome for in-depth guides, analyses, and research articles.
Use clear headings (H2, H3) to break up your content. Bullet points and numbered lists help readability. Avoid large walls of unbroken text.
3. Headlines and Titles
Your title is the first thing readers see. Make it informative, accurate, and engaging — but never misleading or clickbait. Avoid using ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation (!!!). A good headline tells the reader exactly what they'll get.
- Good: "5 Practical Ways to Reduce Screen Time Without Losing Productivity"
- Avoid: "This One Trick Will CHANGE Your Life Forever!!!"
4. Accuracy and Sources
All factual claims must be accurate and based on reliable sources. Link to your sources where possible. If you're sharing opinion or analysis, make that clear to readers. We reserve the right to request corrections or additions if factual errors are found post-publication.
5. No Promotional Content
Postpear is not an advertising platform. Articles must not be written for the purpose of promoting products, services, or businesses. Affiliate links are not permitted. If you want to mention a product you genuinely use or recommend, that is fine as long as the article's primary value is informational — not promotional.
6. Images and Media
Include a featured image with your article. Only use images you have the rights to:
Do not use images from Google Images or other websites without explicit permission.
7. Community Standards
We expect all authors to maintain basic respect and civility. We do not accept content that:
- Contains hate speech targeting race, religion, gender, sexuality, nationality, or disability
- Promotes illegal activities
- Spreads disinformation or medical misinformation
- Harasses or targets private individuals
- Contains explicit sexual content
8. Review Process
After you submit an article, our editorial team reviews it within 5-7 business days. We may ask for revisions or clarifications. Once approved, your article is published on Postpear and promoted across our categories.
If your article is declined, we'll provide brief feedback. You are welcome to revise and resubmit.
9. Author Rights
You retain full ownership of your content. By publishing on Postpear you grant us a non-exclusive license to display and distribute your work on our platform. You may republish your work elsewhere, but please wait at least 30 days after initial publication on Postpear.
