We take a few posts a year from people outside the regulars, and we pay for all of them.
What works here is a specific thing you did, learned or gave up on, written plainly. A couple of thousand words is the usual shape; longer is fine if the piece earns it. Send two paragraphs describing the idea rather than a finished draft — we would rather talk it over early than turn down something you spent a month on. Replies take about a week.
