The pitch
Why write for us
Writing here grows your personal brand.
Writing here grows your own audience. Here is what you get out of a published piece.
Direct traffic to your site
We put the author up front. Your name shows three times in the desktop layout and twice on mobile, with a link to your contributor page on each. Readers who want more of your work can get to your other content in one click.
On a well-built piece, a reader is 50% more likely to click through to a profile page than with the layouts most sites use (we ran those layouts ourselves before switching, so the number is ours). Your contributor page links straight to your own platform, whether that's a blog, a Substack, or Twitter.
A free backlink
New to blogging? Backlinks are how you signal your importance to Google and other search engines. Once your article's final revision is live, we give you one direct link to your personal website on your profile page. That grows to two or three as you publish more with us.
Better authority in Google
Write on AnimeTrivia.app and link to that work from your own site, and you show Google you're a credible source. This is E-E-A-T. Each link back to your published content tells Google you're the author, building trust in your site because you've contributed to a brand it already trusts.
Submissions
What we publish
Any original anime-related piece works: reviews, character analyses, deep looks at anime culture. Send us your idea and an outline, and our team reviews it for publication.
Submission requirements
- Human-written only. We want authentic writing that reflects your own take on anime. No AI-generated or content-spun work, and no plagiarism. Keep it original, like Netero's 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.
- Articles run a minimum of 600 words. For anything over 1,500 words, use sub-headers so the piece stays organized and easy to read.
- Link out to relevant sources to back up your points. Sites like MyAnimeList, Anime News Network, or academic articles add credibility. We reserve the right to remove links we don't find relevant.
- We only take pieces not posted elsewhere. We take plagiarism seriously and will remove anything that doesn't meet that bar.
- A list of every anime you mention isn't required, but we appreciate one alongside your article.
