Who we are and who reads TechSlash
TechSlash is a UK technology blog that explains how technology changes the way people work, communicate, create, shop and build businesses. We publish practical articles on AI, software, gadgets, mobile technology, cloud services and business technology, written in plain language for readers who want useful answers rather than hype.
Our readers include technology enthusiasts, small business owners, professionals choosing software, and everyday users comparing gadgets and apps. They come to TechSlash to understand a topic quickly and to make a better decision. If you can explain a technology topic clearly, with real examples and honest judgement, your article will fit here.
We publish new technology articles regularly, and guest contributions are an important part of that. We welcome technology writers, developers, founders, marketers and professionals with genuine first hand experience of the topic they want to cover.
Topics we accept
We accept original technology guest posts in these categories:
- AI and Robotics: AI tools, automation, robotics, machine learning in plain language
- Software: software guides, comparisons, workflows and app reviews
- Technology: technology trends, explainers and practical analysis
- Business: technology for small businesses, productivity and digital tools
- Android and iOS: phones, apps, settings and mobile tips
- Cloud and Storage: cloud services, backup, storage and data safety
- Gadgets: gadget reviews, buying guides and hands on advice
We also accept tutorials, how to guides, opinion pieces grounded in experience, and product reviews where the reviewer has genuinely used the product. Every article must teach the reader something useful. Articles that only promote a product or service will not be accepted.

| Editing | We edit for clarity, accuracy, grammar and style. We may adjust titles and headings for search and readability. |
What we do not accept
- Articles published elsewhere, spun content, or content copied from another source
- Casino, adult, gambling, CBD, crypto promotion, or payday loan content
- Press releases, link building articles with no reader value, or thin listicles
- Product reviews of products you have not used
- Medical, legal or high stakes financial advice
- Articles that make unverified claims about rankings, traffic or results
Our dofollow link policy
Each accepted article may include one contextual dofollow link where it genuinely helps the reader, plus one dofollow link in the author bio. Links must point to relevant, high quality pages. We do not accept affiliate links, links to low quality sites, or links inserted only for promotion. Final link placement is at editorial discretion, and we may remove any link that does not serve the reader.
How to submit: step by step
- Pitch first. Email your proposed title, a short summary of the angle, and one line about your experience with the topic. Do not send a full draft before approval.
- Wait for our reply. We review every pitch and reply within 48 hours. If your topic is approved, we confirm the agreed length and deadline.
- Write the draft. Follow the guidelines table above. Send the draft as a Google Doc or Word document, with your author bio and featured image.
- Editing. We edit for clarity and accuracy and may ask you to fix facts or tighten sections.
- Publication. Approved articles go live within 7 days of approval. We share the live URL with you and promote the article on our social channels.
What a weak pitch looks like, and what a strong one looks like
Weak pitch example: “Hi, I want to write about AI for your blog. I can send an article about the best AI tools. Please let me know.” This pitch fails because it names no angle, no reader benefit and no evidence that the writer knows the topic.
Strong pitch example: “Guest Post Pitch: How I cut invoice admin by 6 hours a week with 3 AI tools. I run a small UK bookkeeping practice and tested these tools with real client invoices for two months. The article will compare setup time, cost and accuracy, with screenshots of my workflow.” This pitch works because it states a specific angle, a real reader benefit and first hand experience.
How we edit your article
Every accepted draft goes through a full editorial check before publication. We check facts against credible sources, test any steps in a tutorial, and read the article as a reader would: does it answer the question it promises, in order, without gaps? We tighten long sentences, fix grammar, and adjust headings so the article is easy to scan and easy to find in search.
We may change the title or subheadings to match what readers actually search for, and we may add internal links to related articles on TechSlash so readers can go deeper. For gadget and software articles, we also recheck prices and UK availability, because both change often. We never change the meaning of your article, and we never add claims you did not make. If an edit affects a factual point, we check it with you first.
