About Publishing on Psdtuts+

Psdtuts+ is a well established design community with a focus on Photoshop that helps artists/designers learn new techniques, theory, and practical know-how that will help them achieve there goals. If you have some helpful knowledge you would like to share, then we’d like to talk with you.

We have a strong belief at Tuts+ that everyone has unique ideas to share and techniques they come across as they work and experiment. We’d love to hear your creative content ideas and look forward to potentially working with you.

Payment

Want to submit a tutorial or other content to Psdtuts+? We only accept content that matches the site’s writing and content standards. If your content is accepted, we’ll pay an agreed USD rate per item published (make an offer!), and you’ll get to help your fellow Photoshop aficionados! You must have a PayPal or Moneybookers account for us to pay you. This fee will be paid within the first week of the month following publication.

Written Tutorials

These are long form written tutorials. We prefer more complete, practical and extensive tutorials, placed in the context of professional workflows with high quality final artwork. Tutorials should be 20 steps or more and have an image illustrating each written step.

Articles

We do have a regular group of writers that contribute content such as interviews, roundups on resources, and inspirational posts. We’re not currently accepting this type of material from our general audience, as we only publish a limited amount of this material and we have that covered.

There are some types of articles though that we are always interested in, such as: articles that explain techniques, those that cover art and design theory as it related to Photoshop and design subjects, and case studies of high end projects.

Quick Tips

Quick tips are 3-5 minute screencasts, short articles, or short 6-10 step tutorials on how to do something simple, quick, but useful. There are lots of little tips, tricks and techniques that are too small for a long format tutorial, but would still be useful and beneficial to the design community.

We post numerous quick tips each week, and pay $50 USD as the base rate for these.
