Our standards for contributors
- Original and written for TBR. Your own work, based on your own expertise.
- Every factual claim sourced. Our editors check claims against primary sources before publication, as they do for all TBR reporting.
- No promotion. You can draw on your experience, but a contribution is not a place to promote your firm, its products or its clients.
- Interests disclosed. Tell us about any interest relevant to a piece; disclosures are printed with your profile and the article.
- Separate from audits and scores. Contributors take no part in TBR's audits, grades or review scores, and contributing never affects them.
- Not sponsored content. A contribution is editorial. Paid content is arranged separately and labelled as sponsored, as set out in our publishing standards.
- You see the edit. We edit for accuracy, clarity and house style, and you see the edited version before it is published.
How it works
- Apply. Tell us about yourself and what you would like to write about, using the form below. If an editor has invited you, say who.
- Review. An editor reads every application and replies to those we can work with.
- Profile. We set up your contributor profile with your photo, expertise and biography, and you approve it before it goes live.
- Pitch, draft and edit. We agree the subject with you, you write the piece, and our editors edit and check it.
- Publication. Your article goes live with your byline and photo, and appears on your profile.
