If you know business, finance or markets inside out and can write something people will actually want to read, send it over.
Article Thirteen accepts original submissions from founders, executives, analysts, investors, consultants, academics, operators and experienced business writers. We are not looking for filler. We are not looking for recycled “thought leadership.” We want useful pieces with a clear point, clean writing and something real behind them.
That could be first-hand experience. It could be proper research. Best case, it has both.
What kind of business articles do we accept
We publish strong, original work across business, finance and market coverage, including:
1. Business strategy
Growth, pricing, competition, market entry, operations, business models and execution.
2. Finance
Corporate finance, funding, capital allocation, cash flow, valuation, risk, capital markets and investment trends.
3. Markets and the economy
Sector shifts, inflation, rates, trade, labour, policy impact and what broader economic changes mean for real companies.
4. Entrepreneurship
Startups, scaling, product-market fit, mistakes, lessons, hiring, sales and the less glamorous side of building a business.
5. Leadership and management
Running teams, decision-making, accountability, culture, performance and what works when things get messy.
6. Technology in business
AI, automation, software, cybersecurity, analytics and how technology changes cost, speed and strategy.
What makes a strong submission
A good piece does not just “cover a topic.” It says something worth reading.
We like articles that explain something clearly, challenge lazy assumptions, show how something works in the real world or give readers a sharper way to think about a business problem. Data helps. First-hand experience helps more. Both together usually work best.
If your article can teach a founder, investor, executive or manager something useful in plain English, you are on the right track.
What we do not publish
This matters just as much as what we do publish.
We do not accept:
- Thin guest posts written mainly for backlinks
- Spun, syndicated or previously published content
- Generic AI copy with no original thought or real expertise
- Soft promo pieces dressed up as editorial
- Press releases in the article clothing
- Keyword-stuffed pages written for search engines first
- Undisclosed affiliate content
- Low-trust promotional topics or spammy commercial link inserts
If the piece feels like it exists mainly to push a link, it will not make it through.
Our editorial standard
Business and finance are trust topics. Bad information wastes money, time and judgment.
So every submission needs to be:
- Original: Send work that has not been published anywhere else.
- Accurate: Check your numbers, claims and dates. If you cite data, link the source.
- Useful: The article should leave the reader with a real takeaway, not a fog of broad statements.
Written by someone who knows the subject
You do not need a famous name. You do need something real to bring to the table.
5 Best content guidelines
1. Length
Most accepted articles land between 1,200 and 2,500 words.
We will consider shorter pieces if they are sharp and timely. We will consider longer pieces if they earn the space.
2. Tone
Write clearly. Write like a person. Drop the corporate padding. Keep it direct.
3. Structure
Use meaningful headings, short, readable paragraphs and a clean flow. Add charts, screenshots or tables only if they genuinely help the reader.
4. Sources
Use credible sources and link them. Primary sources are better when available.
5. Links
Relevant editorial links may be allowed, but we remove spammy anchors, irrelevant placements and over-optimised link drops.
Who should submit
This page is for people with something real to say about business.
That includes:
- founders and startup operators
- finance professionals
- market analysts and economists
- consultants and advisors
- professors and researchers
- senior leaders with first-hand experience
- business journalists and specialist writers
If you are writing from actual experience, say so. If you are writing from research, show your work.
How to pitch us
Send your submission or pitch to:

What happens after submission
We review each submission for originality, clarity, authority and fit.
If your piece is accepted, we may edit it for headline strength, structure, style, readability, internal linking and search performance. That is normal editorial work, not a rewrite of your point.
We usually reply within 3 to 5 business days, though it can take longer during busy periods.
