Write For Us Gaming
Do you write about video games, esports, PC or console gaming, mobile gaming, or game development? We accept gaming guest posts from writers, developers, and gamers who have something useful, accurate, or genuinely interesting to share. If you have an idea for a guide, review, or industry piece that fits our gaming section, we want to hear about it.
This page explains what we publish, what we expect in a submission, and how to send us your article.
Submit a Gaming Guest Post
We publish gaming content written by people who actually play, build, or follow the games they are writing about. That includes PC gaming, console gaming, mobile gaming, esports, game development, gaming hardware and accessories, game reviews, gaming guides, and gaming news. We are not looking for thin roundups or articles written only to place a link. We want content that reads like it came from someone who understands the game or topic, not someone summarizing a Wikipedia page.
If your idea fits under gaming and gives the reader something they can actually use, send it our way using the process below.
What Gaming Topics Can You Write About?
Gaming covers a lot of ground, so here is what we accept:
- PC gaming, including setups, optimization, and PC-specific titles
- Console gaming across current and past generations
- Mobile gaming and mobile-first titles
- Esports, competitive play, and tournament coverage
- Game development and game design
- Gaming hardware and accessories
- Game reviews and previews
- Gaming guides, walkthroughs, and strategy content
- Gaming news and industry commentary
- Indie games and smaller studio releases
- Multiplayer games and online communities
- Gaming technology, including emerging tools and platforms
If your topic overlaps two of these, that is fine. A piece on esports hardware, or on how a mobile title influenced indie game design, fits naturally.

Who Can Submit a Gaming Article?
We accept submissions from:
- Gaming bloggers and freelance writers with hands-on knowledge of the topic
- Game developers and designers who want to share process or lessons learned
- Esports players, coaches, or organizers with firsthand insight
- Hardware reviewers and tech writers who cover gaming gear
- First-time contributors, as long as the writing is clear and the topic is well handled
You do not need an existing portfolio of guest posts to submit. What matters is whether the article is accurate, useful, and a genuine fit for a gaming audience.
Gaming Guest Post Guidelines
Based on standard practices used across established gaming guest post programs, we ask contributors to follow these points:
- Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere, including on your own blog, before or after we publish it.
- Content should be free of plagiarism and fact-checked, especially for game details, release dates, and technical claims.
- Aim for a thorough article. Most accepted gaming guest posts fall between 800 and 1500 words, though guides and walkthroughs can run longer where the extra length is justified.
- Use subheadings, short paragraphs, and bullet points where they help readability.
- Write in a clear, conversational tone that works for both casual and dedicated gamers. Avoid unnecessary jargon.
- Avoid purely promotional or affiliate-driven content. A relevant, non-promotional link is generally acceptable within the body or author bio.
- Include a short author bio with your name and a brief line about your background or gaming experience.
- Use your own screenshots or properly credited, copyright-free images.
- We reserve the right to edit submissions for clarity, accuracy, and formatting before publishing.
- We do not guarantee publication of every submission. Content is reviewed individually against these guidelines.
What Makes a Good Gaming Guest Post?
A strong gaming guest post is specific rather than general. It references actual games, mechanics, patches, or events instead of speaking in vague terms about "the gaming industry." It comes from real experience, whether that is hours logged in a game, direct development work, or covering esports firsthand. It gets to the point quickly, uses clear structure, and respects that gaming readers can usually tell when a writer does not actually know the subject.
Good gaming writing also stays current and accurate. Outdated information about a game's mechanics, pricing, or platform availability undermines an otherwise solid article, so double-check details before submitting.
How to Submit a Gaming Guest Post
- Review the topics and guidelines above to confirm your idea is a fit.
- Write your article, or send a short pitch first if you want feedback on the idea.
- Include a short author bio and, if relevant, a link to your site, portfolio, or social profile.
- Send your submission as a Word document or Google Docs link by email, with "Gaming Guest Post Submission" and your article title in the subject line.
- Our editorial team will review your submission and follow up if it is a fit for publication.
Send your article and details to writeforusai@gmail.com. We typically respond within 24 to 72 hours.
Why Submit a Gaming Article?
Guest posting puts your writing in front of readers who are already interested in gaming, beyond whatever audience you already have. It is a way to build a public track record on a topic you know well, whether that is esports, game development, or a specific gaming subgenre. For developers, players, and writers building a portfolio, a well-written guest post is a straightforward way to get published work with your name on it.
