So why should you write for tripwire?

Here’s why contributing to tripwire magazine could be good for you:

• You’ll reach a worldwide audience of targeted readers, and that will drive traffic to your own blog or website, so you’ll gain new followers and subscribers.
• You’ll build your reputation as an expert in your field.
• You’ll improve your research and writing skills.
• You’ll learn lots by working with experienced blog and magazine editors.
• We’ll give you the help, feedback and support you need to write great articles.
• We’ll include your contact details, bio, website/blog address etc. at the end of your article, so you get full author credit.
• We’ll also add your details to our About page (see the example below) to make sure you remain visible, even after your guest articles become older and receive less traffic.
• You’ll also get your own author page, containing your details and a list of all your guest articles we’ve published.
• If you contribute really high-quality, unique articles, we’ll pay you for your work. Before an article goes live, we’ll discuss all the publishing and payment conditions with you, so everyone’s happy with the deal.
• We’ll create a password-protected tripwire WordPress account for you, so you can login and create/edit/submit your articles easily (that will speed up the whole process for you and for us).
