How to Contribute to iPhone Life magazine
and Blog at iPhoneLife.com
(Last updated June 7, 2010)
We (Thaddeus Computing) began magazine publishing in 1985. From the start our philosophy has been that the most useful and interesting content comes from end users who want to share their knowledge with fellow users. That means our job at iPhone Life and iPhoneLife.com is to solicit great content, work with the author, and publish the result.
Since the launch of iPhone Life in the Fall of 2008, we have been fortunate to attract a wonderful team of magazine contributors and bloggers. Authors have included a doctor, lawyer, student, Rabbi, IT professional, consultant, CEO, mayor, app developer, iPhone webmaster, music professor, retired boomer, mental health administrator, sales professional, and many others. The simple criteria for selecting print and on-line contibutions is will the material help others get more out of their device.

Join our Blog team
If you have a lot to share about your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then consider joining our blog team. Bloggers can post app or accessory reviews, opinion, how-to --- any thing of interest to iOS users.
Blogging is much more straightforward than writing for the magazine. A number of people work on each magazine article during the edit and layout cycle. On the other hand, once Hal Goldstein approves blogger, the blogger just posts without intervention, and the blog appears on the home page.
Bloggers should plan on making quality posts at least twice a month, and ideally more often. Bloggers represent the magazine, which means blogs must be well-written, topical, and mature. Bloggers can develop their own style or point of view, and even criticize if appropriate. Bloggers are iOS enthusiasts writing for iOS enthusiasts.
If you want to write or be a regular blogger or forum moderator (when we set the forum up), please email Executive Editor/Publisher hal
iphonelife [dot] com (Hal Goldstein) a few paragraphs about your interests and background and what you might like to write or blog about. Also, include links or attachments with samples of writing.
