Look, most “Write for Us” pages are just link traps dressed up in editorial clothing. This one isn’t.

We publish at AI Automation NYC because our readers  small business owners, freelancers, people running three-person operations in Queens or the Bronx  actually need to learn this stuff. They don’t want fluff. They can smell a padded article from the title.

So here’s what we’re looking for, and here’s how it works.

Topics We Accept

One rule: write about something you’ve actually done.

Built a Zapier workflow that saved your team two hours a day? Write that. Tried Make and hit a wall the docs didn’t warn you about? Write that too. Helped a client set up AI email routing and watched it actually work? Perfect.

Topics that fit here:

• Zapier, Make, n8n, ChatGPT, Claude  real walkthroughs, not overviews
• No-code automation for businesses that can’t afford a developer
• Step-by-step tutorials you could hand to someone and they’d finish it
• Automation for NYC-type businesses  restaurants, retail, real estate, logistics
• Tool comparisons with an actual opinion at the end
• Case studies. Before. After. Real numbers if you have them.
• Email automation, CRM setup, scheduling, AI writing tools
• What happened, why it happened, what you did about it

Don’t do: crypto, general tech news, any time that the link is more important than the article.

What We Need from You

Nothing complicated here, just the essentials:

Word Count	800-1,500 words. Stretch it to 2,000 for tutorials if you need to.
Original	Not published anywhere. Yes, that includes your own site and Medium. We check.
Tone	Write like a person. Casual but not sloppy. Skip the jargon.
Format	Subheadings every few paragraphs. Short sections. Bullets only when a list actually makes sense.
Screenshots	Optional but appreciated. PNG, 1,200px wide minimum. Label them.
Links	Outbound links to tools or sources are fine. Undisclosed affiliate links are not.

Do-Follow Link Policy

One link. In the body of the article. Somewhere it makes sense  not the first sentence, not a goodbye paragraph that exists only to carry the URL.

Tool pages, your own guides, a useful resource: all good. A link to your agency homepage with anchor text that has nothing to do with the article: gone.

We don’t sell links. We’ve been asked. The answer is no.

Your bio gets one link too. That one’s yours to do what you want with.

How Long Things Take

• Pitched something? Expect a reply within 5 business days. Nothing after a week  follow up once, that’s fine.
• Sent a full draft? We’ll get back to you within 7 business days.
• Got the green light? It goes live within 14 days. We’ll send the URL the day it publishes.

We edit. Sometimes a lot, sometimes barely. We don’t rewrite your argument without telling you. If we change more than a few things, you’ll see a revised version before it goes anywhere.

Your Author Bio

Short. Real. No inflated titles.

Send:

• Your name
• One or two sentences about what you actually do
• One link  site, LinkedIn, portfolio, whatever makes sense
• A headshot or avatar. Square. At least 400x400px. JPG or PNG.

“AI thought leader” and “passionate advocate for digital transformation” both get deleted on sight. Just tell people what you do for work.
