Guest Post Guidelines

EssentialSQL is always looking for new contributors to bring fresh ideas, know-how and topics about the ever-changing world of SQL Server to our readers.

The blog caters to a large audience of business analysts, developers, database administrators, and those just learning how to use SQL. Contributions should speak clearly to one of these segments and offer the reader actionable tips that they can implement right away.

Submissions should:

  • Be 100% original and not published anywhere else.
  • Be well-written, clear, interesting, and above all, helpful.
  • Provide attribution for all data or statistics cited with a hyperlink.
  • Not be overly self-promotional.
  • Include a one-to two-sentence author bio with a headshot.
  • Include all images as separate attachments.
  • Be 1,200 – 1,800 words in length
