The Aim Of This Blog
The BB Director aims to bridge the gap between experts who talk and write about strategies that they use themselves, and audiences who need access to these same strategies in order to crush their competitors.
Our readers turn to the BB Director to find articles that cannot be found anywhere else and to make sense of incomplete or inaccurate reports published elsewhere. Our readers want to understand the issues they face and take ownership of them; they want to learn something, and they want to be provoked. They don’t want technical language that is esoteric and inaccessible. The articles are edited and, at times, thoroughly re-worked by experienced BB Director editors.
Guidelines To Write
Reading the BB Director is the best way to get a sense of what kinds of articles it publishes.
Article Size:
- Long form articles (2,000 to 4,000 words). It is not the word count but the voice and the angle of the pieces that make the blog distinctive. We need you to tackle tough topics, make strong arguments, and offer strong takeaways. All authors must sign a writer’s agreement with us, to ensure that the article that is published is not (and will not) be published anywhere but in the BB Director.
- Data-driven content (1,000-3,000 words)
- Curated posts (600-1,200 words).
Additional Guidelines
- References and notes for web pieces: Use hyperlinks for references.
- Include your full name, phone number, and e-mail address.
- Include your bio so that we understand your expertise and what makes you the perfect author to write the piece you are pitching.
- Plagiarism is a sin.
- Editing. Every BB Director article is subject to editing. During the editing process, it is the writer’s responsibility to address all of the editor’s questions and proposed changes. You don’t have to accept every change but always explain why. Usually, the changes address structure, tone, spelling, grammar, or style. We want to make your piece as interesting as possible, which will ensure the maximum number of readers.
