Simple Talk<\/a> is a technical journal and community hub brought to you by Redgate Software<\/a>. It is free to access and<\/span> features a vast array of educational material, opinion pieces and other content<\/span> for\u00a0professional developers, administrators,<\/span> architects, IT professionals, hobbyists and more.\u00a0We even have our very own podcast<\/a><\/span><\/span>, and are looking to branch out more into other media (such as video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite being Redgate-owned, Simple Talk is editorially independent. If you are looking for articles about Redgate or our tools, visit the Redgate Blog<\/a> or Redgate Product Learning.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We cover a huge variety of technical topics, highlighted by content about Databases, DevOps, Sysadmin, Development, Cloud and more. Whatever your interest, whatever your database of choice, we have you covered \u2013 from SQL Server to MongoDB to PostgreSQL and everything in-between. Our content is curated to suit a wide range of ability levels: newcomers, hobbyists, professionals and industry veterans alike. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any comments or questions about our content, please leave comments on an article or send an email to editor@simple-talk.com.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Simple Talk, we take pride in being a true community hub. Most of our content is produced by volunteer contributors who are chosen carefully and have their work put through rigorous checks before publication, as we strive for the highest quality and accuracy possible. We also pay our contributors for their work. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re constantly on the lookout for technology experts who have a strong knowledge of a particular topic, as well as the ability to share their knowledge via the written word, or in a video, podcast, etc. We also<\/span> work with highly professional and experienced industry names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important trait we look for in a contributor is technical knowledge\u00a0of their topic of choice. Prior content creation experience is preferred but not required. Important note: we expect all content to be created by the contributor, not <\/strong><\/span>AI-generated<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or <\/strong><\/span>copied from others<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Quality is just one part of how we choose content. We also look for passion, experience and most importantly, expertise and authority.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re currently looking for content on a broad variety of topics:<\/p>\n\n\n We’re always on the lookout for how-to guides\/advice articles\/tutorials, but also highly value opinion-based and real-life experience content as well. Want to explain why Python is your preferred programming language<\/a> (or why you should avoid it?<\/a>) Had an experience in the database community you want to share? Or do you simply want to explain why AI is the best thing since sliced bread? We’d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re also looking for more than just written content! While this makes up the majority of our site’s output right now, we’re also open to submissions for those who create videos, podcasts and more. And, bonus points for those who can write and<\/em> include their own created video in the content as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All content goes through our rigorous review process, which includes the following:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n The time between submission of a first draft and publication of the content can vary between two weeks and a few months, depending on the extent of revisions required and the amount of content we currently have in the pipeline. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a piece of content is ready, we do everything we can to promote the creator’s output! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n If you\u2019re happy with the above and want to write for Simple Talk, please reach out to <\/span>editor@simple-talk.com<\/span><\/a> with the following information:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n Please note: <\/strong>due to the volume of applications we receive, we cannot respond to everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please also note:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>we expect the content to be original, created by the contributor – not AI-generated<\/a> or copied from others<\/a>!
