A weekly writer position has just opened on Nettuts+. If interested in filling the spot, your duties, should you choose to accept them, will be to submit one design-focused article each week. Mostly, you’ll be free to choose your topics, as long as they’ll appeal to our audience. We’re in need of articles which focus on advanced CSS, HTML 5, the intricacies of a design, typography, adding depth to a layout, round-ups, and anything else you can think of!
What’s Required
- A solid grasp of the English language.
- Consistency. You must submit one article each week – the day to be determined between the two of us.
I’m Interested. What Next?
You have a few options:
- Email nettuts@tutsplus.com with your first tutorial idea. I’ll either okay it or request a different topic.
- Take the initiative and prepare a high-quality design article, and submit it to nettuts@tutsplus.com.
- Leave a comment with any questions that you might have.
When you’re ready to begin writing, be sure to take a look at our formatting instructions.
How Much Does the Job Pay?
You’ll be offered $150 per article for your first few submissions. However, once you’ve consistently submitted a weekly article for a month, your pay will be upped to $200 per article.

I would love to take the job I have a LOT of ideas but my english isn’t perfect :(
welcome in my world..
Your English is better then mine :)
What if we share? My English is sufficient, although I lack enough ideas to be consistent!
Sounds like we can complete eachother!
For further reference, I’d love to do this. Although, as said, I lack ideas. I think I can come up with one or two, but after that my brain will be crushing to come up with new ones :(
I’m not really sure if this is allowed :)
Jeffrey?
Would this be allowed? :)
I don’t really mind – but it’s less than ideal.
If I had to judge your ability to speak English by only that sentence (and I do), I would assume it was your primary language.
^^ Thanks buddy, I still have gramatical errors, for example: Present, Past & Future sentences are not my friends :(
I have tons of ideas, but never got around to doing them. This is the motivation I need. Expect an article from me soon.
That screencast I am working on is almost done just rounding out the edges.
I would try to take this up, too bad University has to get in the way! :P
Design only related to the web…dats bad…there is design in everything!!
I’m in!. English is good but ideas aren’t :)
as I’,m a regular reader of net.tutsplus. Now I think, the time is to be a writer for Net Tutsplus.
thanx for offering .
there is one thing to ask you, that, are your hiring globally?
hope you say “Yes”
Very tempted. What’s the deadline?
I might give it a try :)
I might give it a try too :D
I want to give a try
me² :D
i’m going for it!
Just define the deadline please!
I’ll give it a shot! But, be warned my writing skills lack… well skill. It would take over a week to perfect one tutorial
I’m in. Will get some ideas together asap!
This sounds like a great opportunity to give something back to a site that has given me so much. Jeffrey, I’ll think of something to write about and send you an email about it.
Thanks
Sufficient English, but not good enough ideas! I’ll be a reader for some more time. But maybe some time in the future, I’d be able to be an author.
anyway, i do hope you find someone who has innovative and inspiring ideas.
I would love to take this job, I have some brilliant ideas for tutorials, but my English isn’t perfect.. What should I do?
Your comment is awaiting moderation. how long?
this is ur first comment, so after approval of the editor ;)
I’ve a very tight schedule throughout January. However, if this position is still available in next month, then I would be more than glad to provide weekly articles for Net Tuts. :)
I am waiting for a reply to a message I sent to you guys :)
I am just about to start studying Journalism and I have a very high competency in English (I received an A in my final levels).
If I was chosen for this position, I would write an article that is based on web development news. I believe that I am right for this place as I am a committed and willing writer – I genuinely enjoy the art of the English language, and writing about Web Development (one of my favourite subjects) would perfectly fuse my skills and interests.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Alex
Alex – email me at nettuts@tutsplus.com. Put your name in the subject. :)
I shot an email off to you, should I send my resume and a sample article?
I’ve got the time, the skill (hopefully), and the originality (hopefully)!
Tanks, my php is very good! I can help you.
Hmm…maybe I’ll write up an article and see if I have the time to do a weekly one, but if I do I would be more than happy to get some articles out!
Hey,
i’ve done 2 tutorials so far over at Themeforest, I’d be really keen to do them on a more regular basis but I have ot be honest, it would be nice to have an idea of what the masses are looking for.
Share !
if you need arabic writer i’m ready to start :)
I’d love to do this, but I’m already very busy with my my blog right now, and with school and some other work :(
I can’t wait to hear from this new writer!
I’m interested, although I am also wondering what the deadline is.
I have submitted an idea using the preview submission form you have. I plan to start working on my tut later today for that too.
:’(
Jeffrey, I’ve sent you a message, you didn’t respond yet (3 days ago). Did you see it?
I’ve received a hundred emails. I appreciate your patience.
Sure. (Shall I wait or send it again? I sent you some cool ideas which I can also make, I hope you will read it.)
Can it be a making of about a cool layout, covering the good points and analyzing the bad ones? or maybe a review about a new design of a big portal like for ex: the CNN, New York Times and etc?
I like this kind of tour article, it really enhances the reader’s perception about what decisions are the best to solve a problem and how to think in a more critical way, respecting the final users.
Hi Jeffrey, I got a question that has been bothering me for some time now:
- What about article that is splitted on several parts? Does it count as one single article and will be paid like that, or the author will get paid for each part?
And – whatever your answer will be – is it the same for weekly writer you are looking for and just some regular, random nettus writer?
Don’t want to sound greedy or anything, but I think it’s not only me who’d like to know tha, and it would be great to make that clear for everyone.
Thanks in advance for the answer.
Of course a series of tutorials will receive more compensation.
i don’t know anything English language is soo poor then i dont know any word about web designing so …………………………………i fill so lonely
I can only imagine how difficult it must be to tell the difference between the serious inquiries and the ‘broken promise’ [like] ones.
I wish everyone the best of luck!
Very interested in seeing an article from the new Editor!
Is this open to non-US residents?
Of course. :)
yea…
whats about deadline ?
would be really interested ;D
of course . (Shall I wait or send it again? I sent you some cool ideas which I can also make, I hope you will read it.)
