MetalBear Writers Program
The MetalBear Writers program is focused on supporting developers in sharing knowledge with the community through educational, hands-on & opinionated content. We hope to provide a vast array of resources that empower developers everywhere to code, run, and test software applications smoothly.
We work with authors and developers to produce high-quality content on open source, cloud software development, DevOps, Developer Experience, Platform Engineering, backend engineering, and more. We'll pay you for any content that gets published, and all content is credited to the authors and promoted across our social media, community channels, and website.
Here’s how the
process works
Apply
Submit a brief application with a topic of interest and an outline, along with a writing sample that showcases your experience and writing skills.
Collaborate
Once accepted, you'll receive feedback from an editor who will guide you through the writing process. They will help you refine your chosen topic and outline and offer feedback throughout the writing stage.
Write
Draft your article based on the agreed-upon outline and style guide. Submit your draft for review and feedback.
Revise
