What are we looking for?
- Technical level appropriate to an engineering-oriented audience – our readers aren't coming to Automotive IQ to read about car end-user topics, so articles on seven ways to clean your car, 10 best ways to buy a personalized license plate etc are not what we're looking for
- Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric – articles offering a technical take on topics such as autonomous drive, e-mobility, software, cyber security, 48V, connected cars are right up our street, particularly if you don't find anything similar when searching the site
- Long-form articles are preferred – we don't set a word limit, but we prefer a minimum of 1,000 words per article, complete with a list of appropriate links so that we can show our writers know what they're talking about
How to get involved?

- The topic and a brief outline of your proposed article

What happens next?
We will review your article idea, then get back to you if we think it's a good fit for our readers. Then, when you submit the finished work, we'll upload it to the site and send you a private link for your approval.
