Pitches (DevOps, Performance Optimization, etc.)

Write technical content related to Hasura or GraphQL and we will compensate you for each article of yours that we publish.

The Hasura Technical Writer program is a way for you to support the Hasura GraphQL Engine or GraphQL in general by writing technical content, and get paid for doing so!

As with any open source project, great technical content is key to the success of the Hasura GraphQL engine. Simple, well written tutorials, integrations and guides can make a huge difference when someone is using a dev tool for the first time. Your articles will help us grow Hasura’s public repository of resources, and make it easier for developers to start using the GraphQL Engine.

Through this program, authors can opt for a personal payout or for a donation to a charity or open source project of their choice for articles posted on the Hasura blog.

HERE’S HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

Apply with a topic/proposal here.

Once your proposal is accepted, our editors will get in touch and help you refine your title and outline. We will also decide on the mechanisms of the payout at this stage.

We will pay you 300$ for each post published.

Write: We will share writing guides, best practices, and references that you can look at as you write your post. Our editors will also be in constant touch to help you anytime you need them.

Once the draft is finalised, we will publish the piece on our blog. Every piece will be accompanied by your bio and social media links. All content will be published under the Creative Commons license.

We will make the payout as we had agreed at the acceptance phase. We will also send you some special Hasura swag, and feature your work on our social media channels and newsletter.
