What we’re looking for
Thought leadership, not promotional content
Contributed articles should offer genuine insight: a clear point of view, grounded in expertise, that helps our audience of housing industry professionals, and leaders understand their world more clearly and make better decisions.
Strong submissions tend to answer questions like:
— What does a recent market development actually mean, and what should practitioners do about it?
— Where is the industry getting something wrong, and what would a better approach look like?
— How do you build a team and grow as a leader in this inudstry?
Requirements at a glance
01 — Original and exclusive. Submitted content must not have been published elsewhere and may not be submitted simultaneously to other outlets.
02 — Editorial, not promotional. Contributed articles cannot market a company’s products, services, or solutions. For branded and sponsored content, HW Content Studio is the better platform.
03 — Word count: 600–900 words. Concise, well-argued pieces tend to perform better with our audience than exhaustive ones. We will rarely publish pieces exceeding 1,200 words.
04 — Amplification expected. HW circulates contributor pieces beyond website placement via newsletters and strategic social promotions. Contributors are expected to share their published pieces on professional social channels and engage with reader responses.
05 — Editorial review applies. HousingWire’s editorial team makes all final publication decisions and may edit submissions for clarity, length, and style. Acceptance is not guaranteed.
