We are seeing an increase in submissions. Current review time is 3 weeks, the first available publication slot for confirmed guest posts is December 2026/January 2027.
Mind the Product publishes original articles from practitioners in product management, design, and engineering — plus the builders and founders shipping product every day. Submit your article and you'll be able to track the submission process as we complete the review.
Format
1,000–1,500 words in a Google Doc. Sentence case headings. You’ll choose the doc from your Drive — we only ever see the one you pick.
Quality
Practical insights, real examples, and actionable frameworks. We edit to our house style where needed.
No promotions
Articles written to advertise a product or service will be rejected. Passing mentions are fine.
Originality
Must be original work, not published elsewhere. We retain 2-week exclusivity after publication.
Our stance on AI
We don’t accept articles written solely by AI. Use AI to edit, tighten, and pressure-test your writing — we encourage it — but the thinking must be yours, drawn from your own experience.
Who can submit
Product managers, designers, engineers, builders, founders, and people working in or around the product sector. No content marketers or SEO specialists.
What we’re looking for
Pitches on these themes get priority. You’re welcome to submit outside them.
