What We Are Looking For
Please take some time to read some of the posts we’ve already published, so you get the idea of what SpyreStudios is about.
We’re looking for well-written tutorials, posts/articles and how-to’s. Please do not submit inspiration/showcase posts, we got that covered already! :)
Please, if you submit a post, make sure it is an original article. There is no need to submit an article that has already been published elsewhere, it will not get published again here.
Here are some great examples:
- 6 Easy Ways To Cure A Nasty Case Of Redesign-itis
- 10 Things You Must Do Before A New Site Or Blog Launch
- 20 jQuery Tutorials And Plugins To Impress Your Friends
- Great Examples Of Coming Soon Pages And How To Create Yours

If you’re looking to get a little more exposure to your own blog and want to get your name out there, writing on SpyreStudios should help you do just that.
Rules And Guidelines
Here are some basic “rules and guidelines”. Common sense really. ;)
- 800 words minimum (if you’re submitting an article, tutorials are usually much more than that)
- Screenshots (if appropriate for your post) should be 700px wide
- We are strongly against plagiarism and content theft. Don’t bother contacting us if you plan on using other people’s stuff.
- Spell check before sending your post(s).
- If you’re not sure, send a sample of your work. (we don’t bite :) )
- We reserve the right to edit your post (h3 and strong tags, punctuation, grammar, lead image, links, etc…)
- Include a byline/signature (with 2 links to inner pages max)
- Please… no affiliate links in your posts
- No links to questionable websites (link farms, MFA, adult)
- You agree that the posts will never be republished elsewhere (or were not previously published on another website)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate, and contact us through the contact form. Please use “I want to write for SpyreStudios” in the subject line.
