Editorial Guidelines

 

At Technowize, we explore how wearable technology is shaping identity, intimacy, and the very fabric of our lives. Our readers are curious, discerning, and allergic to hype. That means our content must be grounded in clarity, nuance, and purpose-not sales pitches.

Whether you’re pitching a feature, a review, or a how-to, here are a few key principles we expect all contributors to follow:

We welcome experienced contributors, field experts, student researchers and professors who bring a sharp lens, an original voice, and a thirst to explore wearables beyond the press release. If you’re interested in how smart tattoos redefine fashion, how haptics can simulate human touch or what it means when a child’s first language is spoken through a headset, we want to hear from you.

Our coverage spans:

  1. No Promotions, No Puff

    We do not publish advertorials, affiliate-driven content, or anything that reads like a product brochure. You may mention brands or devices, but only if they serve the story. We’re here to analyze, question, and explore; not endorse.

  2. Voice and Tone

    Our voice is thoughtful, sharp, and human. Aim for writing that is smart but not jargon-heavy; accessible but not dumbed down.

  3. Accuracy and Attribution

    Cite sources when referencing research, surveys, or product claims. We fact-check all submissions, and inaccurate or unsubstantiated content will be returned for revision or rejected outright.

  4. Originality

    We only accept original content not published elsewhere. Plagiarism, including close paraphrasing without attribution, will lead to immediate disqualification from future contributions.

  5. Structure and Formatting

    • Word count: 800-1,200 words for features; 500-800 for reviews and how-tos.
    • Include subheadings for clarity and SEO readability.
    • Use bullet points, short paragraphs, and clear intros and conclusions.
  6. Submissions We Love

    • Investigative or reflective essays on how wearable tech is shaping culture or identity
    • Reviews that blend personal experience with critical analysis
    • How-to pieces that are clever, unexpected, or beautifully clear
    • Reports on lesser-known innovations and under-reported developments
    • Ethical or philosophical takes on the future of wearables
  7. What to Avoid

    • Overly promotional language or anything that feels like brand marketing
    • Generic listicles with no real insight
    • Content that regurgitates press releases
    • Keyword-stuffing or awkward SEO tactics
    • Medical claims that aren’t backed by credible sources
  8. Rights and Edits

    By submitting, you agree to grant Technowize the right to edit your work for clarity, tone, grammar, and structure. We will never distort your original intent, and major edits will be discussed with you before publishing.
