Write Your Article

Use the style guide. While you're writing, make sure your content is:

  • Accurate. Your instructions should be straightforward and technically accurate.
  • Formatted. Your style should use PHP Markdown Extra formatting and match the Linode Library style guide.
  • Original. Your content should be original material written for Linode. We will not accept submissions that have been copied from other sources.

Want to make sure you don't waste time writing a long article we can't use? Submit a writing sample first, to librarysubmissions@linode.com.

Submit Your Article

Submit your article as a pull request, or by emailing librarysubmissions@linode.com. Articles should be sent as a plain text or PHP Markdown Extra file attachment. Writing samples are welcome as well.

Got images? Attach them as .png or .jpg files. If an image is over 650 pixels wide, please send both the original and a 650-pixel-wide version.

Submission checklist:

  • Article in .txt or .md format
  • Images
  • Your name, as you want it to appear in the Library

Once you've submitted your article, here's what you can expect:

  1. You'll receive a brief response acknowledging your submission.
  2. We will do a technical review of your material. This will take a few days.
  3. We will do a copy review of the article. This will take a few days.
  4. You may receive questions or comments from us, or a request for a resubmission with a few changes.
  5. We will let you know that your article has been chosen for publication and send you the final version we are planning to publish. You will have 36 hours to respond and approve our publication of the final version.
  6. If you respond positively (non-response will be taken as a go-ahead to publish), we will publish the article.
