How to pitch your ideas to TechRadar
Everything you need to know to work with us
When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.Here’s how it works.
TechRadar’s mission is to be the go-to source for tech buying advice. But even with our in-house team of highly-skilled experts and writers, we often need outside expertise to ensure our content is the best of the best.
That’s where you come in. The TechRadar team is always on the lookout for talented writers to help bring the site to life, whether that’s conducting a specialist review, offering insightful commentary on a major tech event, or distilling jargon into everyday language for an authoritative and understandable explainer piece.
We’re always looking to expand our pool of freelance writers, and as the breadth of our coverage grows, so too does our need for talent in wider areas of expertise. Want to pitch us a feature, review, exclusive news story or opinion piece? We’d love to hear from you.
TechRadar’s editors want to hear and amplify voices from right across the industry. We believe in the power of diversity, and the value of unique points of view from across society. If you’re from a BAME background, part of the LGBTQIA community, young, old, a seasoned journalist or a newcomer looking for your first break, you are all welcome.
All that matters is that you have a talent for writing entertaining and informative articles, a passion for technology, and that you understand the sorts of articles that TechRadar publishes.
Looking to pitch? Here’s everything you need to know, how to format your pitch, and who to contact.

Who to send your pitch to
While you can contact the entire team atteam@techradar.com, that’s rarely the best way to pitch us an editorial-led story. Instead, send a targeted pitch to the editor or writer who looks after the specific topic you’re looking to work within – a story about an aspect of the new iPhone should go to our Phones Editor, for instance, and a feature about Netflix should go to our Entertainment Editor.
