How do I start?

Write something based on your experience that could help other technicians and shop owners.

What are potential topics?
  • A case study of a difficult repair.
  • Information about a new technology that is challenging our industry.
  • Video or written review of your latest tool or shop equipment purchase.

  • Long-term planning for capital improvements
  • Making your shop stand out among your competitors

How long does it have to be?

The minimum word count is 250 words. Longer submissions have a greater chance of being included as a feature post and in our print publications. Don’t worry too much about a word count; focus on the story you are going to tell.

Do I have to be a professional writer?

No! We want you to concentrate on the accuracy and originality of your content. On staff at Babcox Media, we have more than a dozen veteran editors who can polish your submission for grammar and style. After submission, an editor will be assigned to you.

How do I increase my chances of being published online and eventually in print?
  • Be visual. Include as many unique photos as possible. High-quality videos will also make your submission go to the top.
  • Be original. We want fresh and exclusive content from you.
  • Be regular. We are looking for consistent submissions so we can help you build a following.
Other Tips?
  • Include a photo of yourself. In your bio, list your experience and certifications and explain what makes you an authority in your field.
  • Include links to shop and company websites.
  • Engage with the comments on your article online.
  • Include your social media handles so we can help promote you and the post.
