NetPound is a lifestyle publication with a simple motto: We Let The Dogs Out. We cover food, travel, tech, parenting, home and garden, careers, relationships, entertainment, and everything in between, and we are always looking for sharp, curious writers to join our roster of contributors. If you have a point of view and a story worth telling, we would love to hear from you.
Why write for NetPound
This is an unpaid contributor program built around exposure, credibility, and craft rather than a paycheck. Here is what you get out of it.
A real byline and author profile
Every published piece runs under your name with a dedicated author profile that includes your bio, photo, and links to your own website or social accounts. It is a genuine, credited clip you own.
A portfolio piece that builds credibility
A live article on an established publication is a tangible sample you can show to clients, editors, and employers. It signals that a real editorial team read your work and chose to publish it.
Exposure to our audience
Your writing goes in front of NetPound readers across all of our categories, giving your ideas reach that is hard to build on your own.
Links back to your work
Your author bio can point readers to your blog, portfolio, newsletter, or social profiles, so people who enjoy your article can find more of you.
Editorial support and a polished result
You work with an editor who helps sharpen your piece, and we handle the finishing touches: SEO optimization, a custom featured image, and clean formatting. Your work shows up looking its best without extra effort from you.
Creative freedom within a clear brief
Pitch topics you actually care about across a wide range of lifestyle subjects. Our style is defined but flexible, so you have room to bring your own voice and angle.
What we look for
Original, well-reported writing with a clear point of view. Pieces that are useful, entertaining, or both. Topics that fit one of our categories. We do not run pure press releases, thinly veiled advertisements, or content written only to place a link. We also steer clear of hard partisan politics.
Pitch us
Tell us who you are and what you would like to write about. Name, email, and your topic are required. A portfolio link and writing samples are optional but they help a lot, and you can add up to five sample links.
