ProThotsy.com Content Guidelines: Crafting Posts Readers Will Love

We’re committed to publishing content that’s not only entertaining but genuinely useful to our audience. To that end, we ask that all writers keep these core principles in mind:

1. Provide Concrete Value Don’t just tell readers that a game is great or a strategy works well – show them. Use specific examples, anecdotes, data, and images to illustrate your points. Avoid fluff and focus on providing actionable information that will help readers make better gaming decisions and get more enjoyment out of playing.
2. Do Your Research Accuracy and attention to detail are essential for building audience trust. Double-check your facts, properly attribute quotes and data, and include links to relevant sources. If you’re unsure about something, take the time to look it up or ask our editorial staff.
3. Prioritize Storytelling The best gaming content educates and informs while also telling a compelling story. Look for opportunities to hook readers with strong ledes, descriptive language, and narrative elements. Adopt a conversational, engaging tone that makes readers feel like they’re chatting with a knowledgeable friend.
4. Write to Inform, Not Ignite Gaming can get controversial, and there’s certainly a place for nuanced discussions of sensitive issues. However, we will not publish content that’s needlessly inflammatory, derogatory, or hateful. Provide well-reasoned analysis supported by facts, not combative vitriol.
5. Disclose Relevant Relationships Our audience’s trust is our most valuable asset. Disclose any relationships (personal or professional) you have with studios, publishers, developers, gaming personalities, etc. – especially if you’re reviewing or recommending a product they’re involved with. Not sure if a disclosure is needed? Just ask!
6. Be a Team Player. Your ProThots editor is here to help you do your best work. Welcome constructive feedback and maintain open, timely communication throughout the writing and revision process. Be reliable in meeting deadlines and following our content guidelines. Share other ProThots writers’ work and help promote our collective mission.
