Guest tutorials are unpaid editorial. Pitch a warehouse size, an error message, a dollar figure, or a decision you would make again. We do not publish vendor-doc rewrites, AI drafts, or sold bylines. Product pitches belong on Advertise. The same bar as staff posts is on editorial standards.
We will publish
A Query Profile, dbt log, or Airflow task that lied — and what you changed
Warehouse size, edition, region, and the bill or runtime before vs after
The command, SQL, or config you would paste into a teammate’s PR
A “do not do this” that you learned the expensive way
We will not publish
Vendor-doc rewrites, unreviewed AI drafts, or “X vs Y” with no production numbers
Certification dumps, scraped lists, or pages whose only job is a keyword
Product pitches, dofollow packages, or a byline you did not write
Anything already published elsewhere unless you say so in the pitch
What you get
Your name, bio, photo, and optional LinkedIn / GitHub / site links — not a paid SEO package
You keep copyright. We get a perpetual license to publish and update numbers
Live URL, RSS, and a card on /contributors after the piece ships
One edit pass from an editor who has run Snowflake, dbt, and Airflow in production
Submission guidelines
1,600+ words of original, unpublished prose. Code samples do not count toward the floor
Working SQL/Python, a Query Profile, a log line, or a cost screenshot you captured
2–5 real FAQ questions and an honest “when not to do this”
How it works
Send the incident and outline. We reply in 3–5 weekday IST days. A no is a short email.
If approved, you write the draft (usually 10–14 days).
One edit pass for facts, code, and whether page-one Google already said it.
The article goes live with your byline. Newsletter mention only when that week’s digest matches.
A pitch that gets a yes
“On an Enterprise Medium in us-east-1, Query Profile said 0 bytes spilled while the warehouse burned 47 credits. I will show the profile screenshot, the WAREHOUSE_LOAD_HISTORY query, and the XS change that cut the bill 61%.”
A pitch that gets a no: “A complete guide to Snowflake Time Travel for beginners, with a backlink to my agency.”

Prefer to support another way?
Guest posts are editorial, not paid placements. If you just want to keep the playground and articles free, you can buy the hub a coffee via UPI (India) or PayPal from this page. That is a personal thank-you, not a sponsorship.
