🏡 wfh submission guidelines
We want your stories and wisdom about better remote working
Welcome to 🏡 wfh, we’re happy you’re here and interested in submitting a story. Here is a FAQ to guide you:
wfh faq
What are you looking for?
Smart, funny, good, thoughtful writing about working from home and remote work (it doesn’t have to literally be about working from your house). Length should match the topic, but otherwise we’re agnostic. The one thing we require is that whatever you write about be backed by your personal experience. What’s a thing you’ve done/learned/tried/experienced? It can be something you loved, something you hated, or even something you felt surprisingly mixed about, but it has to come from Actual Lived Experience.
We’re also open to a wide range of story types — they can be just short write-ups, a picture with a little context, a longer text, whatever.
Some examples: strategies for staying focused at home; a picture of your home desk setup; your approach to setting your working hours; an ode to your $8 milk frother.
What are your guidelines?
We don’t accept anything that violates the Medium Rules (and yes, if we see it, we’re gonna flag it) or AI policy; we don’t accept work that isn’t a match (ie, isn’t, you know, about remote work; isn’t from personal experience).
How do I submit?
There are three ways pieces get into 🏡 wfh:
- If you’ve never written for us before, you can send a link to your unpublished draft on Medium to us via this handy dandy Google Form. We’ll take a look and get back to you within a few days.
- If you have written for us before, you can submit your draft to the publication and we’ll go from there.
- We’ll also be on the lookout for great writing on Medium, and may reach out via private note if we love your piece.
What happens once my piece is accepted?
First: editing! We believe pretty strongly that everyone needs an editor. We’ll make some edits directly and some in back-and-forths in private notes, but won’t hit publish until we’re all on the same page.
Second: publication! Off your writing goes into the wide world. Good luck little thing.
