WRITE FOR US
"I love writing for High Flying Design — they publish thoughtful, interesting pieces that are in line with the topics I'm interested in as an entrepreneur. And my writing isn't bad either!"
High Flying Design publishes perspectives from founders, entrepreneurs and thought leaders who have something genuinely useful to say, and the experience to back it up. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
Contributions are unpaid. The exchange is editorial: a byline in High Flying Design, a permanent link to your website or socials, and a piece of content that builds your authority in your field. Our contributors tell us this is one of the most useful pieces of visibility they've created for their business.
What we’re looking for
We publish articles across:
Business — strategy, brand-building, pricing, positioning, client experience, visibility and growth. Practical, specific and grounded in real experience.
Mindset — the internal side of building a business. Confidence, self-trust, boundaries, decision-making and the stuff nobody talks about enough.
Lifestyle — the life you're building alongside the business. Energy, balance, creativity, travel, home and the things that make it all sustainable.
The best submissions have one thing in common: they say something specific, from genuine experience, that our readers couldn't get anywhere else.

We do not accept pitches for our Female Founder interview column. Those are editorial and invite-only.
We are not looking for thinly veiled sales content, generic listicles, articles written by AI without a human editorial voice, or pieces that could have been written by anyone about anything. If your article doesn't draw on your specific experience and perspective, it's not the right fit for us.
We also don't publish content that promotes hustle culture, performative success or growth-at-all-costs thinking. If it would sit comfortably on a generic business blog, it probably isn't right for High Flying Design.

Send Shannon (High Flying Design’s founder & editor) a short pitch, not a finished article. Include:
What you want to write about and the specific angle you'd take. One or two sentences is enough.
Why you're the right person to write it (your relevant experience or expertise in this area).
Who it's for (which of our readers would find it most useful and why).
We read every pitch and come back to all of them. If it's not right for us right now, we'll tell you why.
Pitches that arrive as fully finished articles without prior discussion are unlikely to be accepted, we prefer to shape the piece with you from the start.
