Why contribute to Automotive IQ?

  • Exposure to our database of over 100,000 eager eyes. Your work won’t be seen just by our audience of automotive professionals, but it will also be part of our newsletter and shared on our social media
  • Permanent hosting on the portal
  • Each contributor gets their own bio and an author page

 

What are we looking for?

  • Technical level appropriate to an engineering-oriented audience our readers aren't coming to Automotive IQ to read about car end-user topics, so articles on seven ways to clean your car, 10 best ways to buy a personalized license plate etc are not what we're looking for
  • Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric – articles offering a technical take on topics such as autonomous drive, e-mobility, software, cyber security, 48V, connected cars are right up our street, particularly if you don't find anything similar when searching the site
  • Long-form articles are preferred – we don't set a word limit, but we prefer a minimum of 1,000 words per article, complete with a list of appropriate links so that we can show our writers know what they're talking about

 

How to get involved?

  • The topic and a brief outline of your proposed article

What happens next?

We will review your article idea, then get back to you if we think it's a good fit for our readers. Then, when you submit the finished work, we'll upload it to the site and send you a private link for your approval. If you agree with how it is presented, then we'll publish it with the appropriate do-follow links. Job done!
