CU Independent publishes a mix of News, Sports News, Home Solutions, Lifestyle, Entertainment, Celebrity, and Health & Care.

If you have an idea that fits what we publish and you can support key claims with reliable sources, send us a pitch.

What We Are Looking For

We accept original submissions in formats that match what we publish:

  • Explain-it-like-you-mean-it posts (what it is, how it works, what to know)
  • Trend roundups (beauty, fashion, culture, entertainment)
  • Home guides (costs, materials, upkeep, common mistakes)
  • Sports pieces (basics, matchups, rankings, storylines)
  • Health & care topics that stay cautious, practical, and source-backed 

Benefits

  • Get Featured On A Multi-Category Site: Your work can appear in sections like News, Sports, Lifestyle, Home Solutions, or Health & Care.
  • Editorial Brand Mention: Your brand can be included contextually within the article under our in-house author, ensuring a natural placement.
  • Build Your Portfolio: A live, published piece you can share with clients, employers, or future publications.
  • Editorial Support: We may polish formatting, headings, and flow so the post fits the site.
  • Ongoing Opportunities: Strong contributors may be invited to submit more topics in the same category.

Simple Guidelines

  • Submit original content only (no rewrites or republishing)
  • Keep it useful and well-structured (headings, short sections, bullets when needed)
  • Fact-check names, dates, and numbers
  • Use reliable sources for health, money, legal, or stat-heavy claims
  • Avoid self-promotion, affiliate links, and link stuffing 
  • Avoid medical promises like “cure,” “guarantee,” or “works for everyone”
