Hey, authors and terminal nerds! Interested in writing a Guest Article for tty1? I’ve just published full guidelines to that process.
what is tty1?
tty1 is a blog I run about the Linux terminal. I’ve been writing for it for nearly a year, and in that time it’s gained a sizeable audience. That audience is nerdy and awesome, commenting on articles and suggesting changes and I love y’all so much.
If you want to jump in, here are some great articles to start with:
- How to Save the World with
tar - You Don’t Need a File Manager
- Terminal-Based Music
- Shell, Yes! (a guest article by Brandon Phillips!)
what should I write about?
As long as it’s related to the Linux terminal, the world is your oyster! I’m open to articles on a wide range of topics.
After all, you won’t lose anything by submitting a proposal: the worst that can happen is I say “no” and you get to write it for your own blog!
why should I write for tty1? I have my own blog!
I’m glad you have your own blog! I still think it would be a great idea for you to write for tty1.
- Your guest article exposes your writing to a new audience (a great chance for self-promotion)
- Writing in
tty1’s style and format may give you ideas to carry into your own blog - Perhaps most important, your article will go through the editorial process with my detailed feedback along the way; receiving feedback and learning how to interact with an editor is an extremely valuable experience and a free opportunity for you to hugely improve your writing!
In short, there’s no downside. :)
how do I sign up? that sounds great!
Head over to the Guest Article guidelines at tty1, where I’ve written up a detailed guide to submitting your proposal and a summary of what the process will be like.
Good luck! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. (Also, feel free to contact me separately to ask questions. My email is below.)
