If you love writing excellent content, why not write for Novu?
This page will provide you with all the details you need. If you find it interesting, please apply through this form.
🤔 Why should you write for Novu?
Novu is a constantly growing open-source platform that is built by developers for developers. By writing for Novu, not only can you get more attention to your content but also make some money on the side. It’s a win-win!
We also want to help you grow — there is a huge disparity between writers that know about tech and tech workers that can write. We want to help you flourish and polish your craft so you can master the tech and the creative side!
🎖️ Get Recognized
Anything that you write about will help you gain recognition in the community. All articles undergo a review process to ensure they meet our quality standards and can be posted. By writing for Novu, you’ll have the following benefits:
- Full Credits: Your article will be featured on our blog under your name, and you get all the bragging rights!
- Visibility: You’ll also be cross-posting the article on other platforms like DEV.to and Medium, so everyone can see your hard work!
- Exposure: Novu will share everything we publish of yours through our Twitter and our Discord server to increase the viewership and spread the word about your article.
💶 Get Paid
At Novu, we recognize your efforts and want to ensure that you get compensated for it properly! Here are our pay rates:
- Articles: from $100 to $150
- Tutorials: from $150 to $200
The final amount (within the range) will be decided based on the complexity of the blog post you’re working on.
How To Get Started
Fill Out Our Form
You need to fill out this form to get started. Once you fill this form out, you’ll be in our “content writers” database.
Plan What You’ll Be Writing About
We want people to know how Novu can work with different platforms and systems worldwide. That can be any other open-source library, a SaaS API, or your own startup. Anything with a unique use case or integration with an existing platform is a good basis! We want you to highlight your work, so get creative! Novu doesn’t — and shouldn’t — be the focal point of your article. Your project should be!
We also have a list of topics that you can work with! You can check it out here.
Write an Outline
After you pick a topic to work on, you will write a short outline of your article and send it to us. This helps us eliminate any misunderstandings from the beginning and agree on the article structure.
If the article outlines a gap between your knowledge and the topic, we will provide advice and guidelines for writing. If the gap is significant, we might ask you to choose a different topic as per our needs and your expertise.
Write!
You can start working on a topic after you’ve been assigned a topic. Before you do, read our Style Guide For Blogs first to understand what we’re looking for and how we structure our content.
You’ll be sent a Notion document to write the article in. This is important for our writing process, as we can later comment on your article and ensure it is better managed.
If you prefer writing with another tool and then pasting it into Notion, that’s fine too! What’s important is that the final draft is pasted into the Notion document.
Reviewing
Once you’re done, please email justin@novu.co to inform him that you’re done with the post. Then, our team will review it and begin the editing process. If there are any issues, we’ll let you know directly and give you plenty of time to adjust.
Your article will probably undergo an editing process where we make changes either to polish the writing or for SEO purposes. We encourage you to take a look at the differences between the two, and we will also be giving you feedback on your writing so you can hone your craft!
Publishing
Approved Posts
Once the blog post has been reviewed, all changes necessary have been made, and the post has been approved for posting, we’ll assign a publish date for your blog post. You’ll be asked to provide details about yourself to feature on our website if you’re a new writer.
If this blog post is cross-posted to other platforms like DEV.to or Medium, we’ll ask you to publish it under the Novu organization on the agreed date.
How to post to devToOther Posts
Some posts might undergo the entire writing and review process. But if our team finds that they do not fit our blog or posting schedule, we’ll ask you to post it on your accounts on DEV.to. You’ll still get paid for it as you would for approved posts.
Get Paid!
Once the blog post is published, you can submit an invoice to get paid. Please refer to the FAQ section to learn how to submit an invoice.
