Work With Us
If you can write for the people who read Derby Insider, or you sell something they would want, we would like to hear from you.
Write for Us
We publish guest posts from people who know their subject first-hand and have actually done the thing they are writing about. You do not need to be a professional writer. You need to know something our readers do not.
What we are looking for
- Original pieces of 800 to 2,000 words, not published anywhere else
- Specific and practical: names, numbers, places, what to do
- Claims backed by a source we can link to
- A fit with what we cover: Analysis, Breeding, Derby, Handicapping, Profiles, Wagering
What you get
- A byline and an author page with your bio and photo
- A link to your site or profile in the bio
- Editing that keeps your voice and tightens the rest
Send a two or three sentence pitch and a link to something you have written. A finished draft is welcome but not required. We reply to every pitch that fits within a week.
Pitch a PostPartner with Us
If you make or sell something our readers would use, there are several ways to put it in front of them.
Ways to work together
- Affiliate partnerships. We join your affiliate program and feature your product in guides and roundups where it genuinely fits.
- Product reviews. Send us the product; we test it and write an honest review, good or bad.
- Sponsored posts. A full article on a topic you care about, written by us, clearly labelled as sponsored.
- Placements. A banner or a mention in a relevant post or page.
How we keep readers' trust
- Sponsored and affiliate content is always disclosed
- We keep editorial control of what we write
- We do not sell undisclosed links or take paid placements that pretend to be editorial
Tell us what you sell, who it is for, and which of the above you have in mind. We will come back with what we can offer and what it costs.
