Pitch Guidelines For Copyhackers

- They only respond to posts that they would like to pursue.
- They also accept 1 in 30 pitches, and only a third of those get published. Please do not be discouraged by this, all writers are still encouraged to pitch to them.
- Pitches that fail to follow the directions clearly described on this page will be rejected or go unanswered.
- All Copyhackers posts are peer reviewed. Peer reviews are the final step in the submission process. Until your post has had the sign-off of an objective third party, selected by the Copyhackers editorial team, it is not officially accepted for publication.
- Nevertheless, they love awesome pitches and the writers who write them.
- Please note that they delete any email that looks like spam or like they are from content farms.
