Project Manager’s Planet Submission Guideline
At Project Manager’s Planet, our mission is to create a knowledge hub that inspires our readers to master their milestones, lead effective project teams, and still get home before dinner. We’re looking for writers who share the same vision and want to be part of our contributors.
Your stories should address key topics of interest such as:
Project management — traditional, agile, and everything else in between
Product management
Productivity
Leadership
Technological innovation
We’re also inspired by success stories. Maybe you’ve successfully scaled agile throughout your workplace? Or perhaps you’ve revived your organization by adopting artificial intelligence (AI)? We love such stories; so, write them in. Check out some examples of stories that we’re looking for:
Product Roadmap and Project Timeline — What’s the Difference?
Scrum Project Management: Secrets of Effective Sprint Planning
Agile Project Reporting: Are You Doing It Right?
But before you start submitting your stories, read through our step-by-step guidelines below:
Step 1: Introduce Yourself
To submit your draft, you must first be accepted as one of our writers. So, drop us an email to contact@ricksoft-inc.com with the subject line “Project Manager’s Planet New Writer Request.” Also include links to your Medium account (complete with author bio) and other social media accounts. You’ll get a notification once we’ve added you as one of our writers.
Step 2: Start Writing
First things first, always follow Medium’s Content Guidelines. Make sure you story is related to at least one of the topics listed above. The target word count is 800–1200. Alternatively, you can also write a story pitch to get an initial assessment of the suitability of your story for our publication. Please proofread your stories before you submit.
Step 3: Submit Your Draft or Story Pitch
To submit your unpublished draft or story pitch, simply click on the ellipses next to the green “Ready to publish?” box and click “Add to publication.” Choose Project Manager’s Planet from the list of publications and click “Add draft.” Your draft is now pending for review from our team of editors. Note that review time varies.
Step 4: Edits and Suggestions for Refinements
We use Private Notes function to communicate any edits or suggestions about your story. Please have the function turned on in your settings. We reserve the right to edit your story (grammar, spelling, and formatting) for better clarity as well as to add relevant photos, sections, etc.
Step 5: Publish and Share Your Submitted Story
Once both you and our editorial team are happy with the finalized draft, we’ll publish it. Feel free to share the published story link on your social networks to get more exposure to your work!

As of now, we only accept and review English language stories for submission.
