We Are Accepting Guest Articles

What’s something you know from experience that you can teach children?

Our mission is that every child in India has the requisite knowledge about their career of choice, so they can be confident in making their career choice.

We at CareerNuts.com believe we cannot achieve our mission alone. That it will take a vast community of experienced professionals to contribute ideas and insights that students can learn from. So if you would like to share your wisdom or insights, we invite you to submit a guest article submission. Please note that we only accept 100% original articles that draw from the author’s area of expertise. We only accept unique and exclusive articles that have not been published elsewhere (including all websites, social media platforms and personal blogs). All submissions become the property of Career Nuts.

Please make your submissions to [email protected].

Why Get Published on CareerNuts.com?

We know that experience is hard-earned and knowledge is priceless. Experienced professionals have a
lot to share with youngsters who can benefit from their career journey. Such advice is usually lost on
social media platforms where what you share is restricted to that platform.

Furthermore, being published on Career Nuts will also help you establish your online visibility. It’ll
increase your digital footprint, and if your article is approved, it will establish you as a subject-matter-expert in your field.

Being published on CareerNuts.com gives you the chance to touch the lives of millions of young
students. You never know whose life you may change. Read more about this in Letter from the Editor.

Article Submission & Editing Process

We at CareerNuts.com take pride in maintaining high quality content despite having a pool of authors

All submissions have to follow our submission procedure, and guest authors are requested to submit a
topic and/or synopsis first. If your topic is selected, we’ll let you know and may send you suggestions. Unsolicited work has a high chance of being rejected.

We read all submissions within one week, and will contact you if your submission of topic has been
