Write for Many Auto

We accept guest pieces on practical UK car ownership. If you have fixed the same thing on three friends' cars and are tired of the forum write-ups, we are probably your audience. Below is what we need before we will reply.

Topics we want

• Common fault walk-throughs, by symptom (not by make-and-model listicle).
• Used-car buying advice from somebody who has actually bought at that price point.
• EV life pieces from drivers who do not have off-street parking.
• Driving law explained plainly; stop-and-search, roadside tests, defect notices.
• Seasonal (winter prep, summer cooling, road-trip prep) with a specific angle.
• Explainers on the DVLA and DVSA processes that frustrate normal people.

Topics we decline

• "Top 10 fastest cars" and other list-first pieces with no original observation.
• Paid reviews, affiliate round-ups, insurance comparison filler.
• Pieces that recommend a specific garage, dealer or shop by name.
• Anything that reads like it came out of a template generator.
• Thinly-rewritten press releases from a manufacturer.

House style

• Plain British English. Short sentences. No "delve", no "navigate the world of", no breathless intro.
• 900–1,500 words. Longer if the subject needs it, with a reason.
• Sources linked inline. Facts and figures sourced to GOV.UK, DVSA, DVLA, the Highway Code, the AA or the RAC where possible.
• Safety-critical advice must be realistic; if the right move is "stop driving and call a garage", say that.

Originality and disclosure

• We take unpublished work only. We will not accept something that is on your blog already.
• If you work for a garage, a manufacturer, an insurer or a parts brand relevant to the piece, tell us up front. We may still run it; we will just note the connection on the page.
• No undisclosed paid links, no SEO link insertions, and no AI-generated filler content. We check.

How to pitch

Email [email protected] with:

1. A one-paragraph pitch; not the finished piece; in the subject line's spirit.
2. A working title and a rough structure (H2s are fine).
3. One or two sentences on why you are the person to write it.
4. A link or two of previous published writing, if you have any; it is not a requirement.

We reply to pitches that fit, inside a working week. We do not reply to generic "I write SEO content, how much do you pay?" emails; sorry.

Payment

We do not publish rates. If we accept the pitch, we will say what we pay in the acceptance reply. We do not buy backlinks.
