20 Top Design Blogs Looking for Freelance Writers

Inspired by an article from Blogsessive – How a Great Backlink Can Make You An Instant Success – I started to scan my favorite design blogs in order to see who’s accepting guest writers. To my surprise I found no more no less than 20 well known blogs from the design & development ecosystem that are looking for awesome freelance writers. So if you want to become a star writer or to pump some Google PR juice in your blog, now it’s time – Write for them:

I would also suggest to you my own 1stwebdesigner site you missed, though I think you missed many beautiful blogs, which are even paying very well for quality articles so you get backlinks, payment and personal contact – all in one!
inspiredmag August 14th

I think you should suggest some links rather than deliver negative feedback. cheers!
Stefan August 14th

Great post for me since I'm currently looking for some sites to become active. Thanks.
CathyStucker August 14th

I approve this post , great list.
trendland August 14th

Cyanatrendland.com is also looking, but its not only in Design, its a little more wide… Fashion, photography, trends, art, design… if you guys are interested… contact us on http://www.trendland.net

Hey, I didn't mean negative feedback!

I definitely think sixrevisions should be included, noupe.com ( only thing you must contact with them personally). These are just examples, what I mean – if you write good articles and don't put payment in the first place -every design blog owner would be just happy to get some guest post and daily relief.

Of course, if payment is the first focus, there should be another list be created showing actually how much people pay for quality articles..:) Sounds like good article idea for me:)

Finally thanks for adding my site, I really appreciate!

You should also fix SmashingMagazine title, now it's a little bit misspelled.

Have a good day

Great article but really miss some good blogs..

Sixrevisions, Noupe, myinkblog, problogdesign, all the tuts+ network: flashtuts+, cgtuts+, psdtuts+, vectortuts+, and also all the fuel network etc…. normally they pay for the article some good money but for free, there are even more.

Anyway is a great idea for a post.
Karinne August 19th

I agree, great idea for a post!

The Web Squeeze is always looking for talented writers for articles or tutorials on anything related to web design and development. We can pay as well… just give is a shout via our contact form.
