As a collective dedicated to exploring the intersection of technology, business, health, economy, sports, and culture through a feminist lens, we welcome diverse voices and perspectives. Our platform is committed to bringing forward fresh, engaging, and thought-provoking content that challenges the norms of the digital age. By contributing to Cursor Magazine, you have the opportunity to share your ideas, creativity, and expertise with our growing audience.
This article will outline the detailed guidelines for submitting your work to Cursor Magazine, what we look for in a submission, and the benefits of writing for us.
Submission Guidelines
When submitting to Cursor Magazine, we want to ensure that the process is as clear and straightforward as possible. To facilitate this, we’ve put together a set of submission guidelines to ensure your work aligns with our editorial standards and meets our community’s expectations.
Quality and Originality
We pride ourselves on producing high-quality, original content. Therefore, we ask that all submissions be 100% unique, free of plagiarism, and thoroughly researched. Your piece should provide value to our readers by offering fresh insights or alternative perspectives on issues that are important in the digital world, such as how feminism intersects with technology, business, health, economy, and sports.
If you’re writing about an existing topic, we encourage you to take an innovative approach to your piece. We are not interested in rehashing widely-covered subjects, but rather in offering something new that sparks conversation and thought. Articles should be thoroughly fact-checked, cited appropriately, and written in your own voice.
Key Points for Quality and Originality:
- Ensure the content is entirely original and not published elsewhere.
- Avoid duplicate content or plagiarism at all costs.
- Back up your arguments with research, sources, and credible references.
- Ensure the writing is clear, concise, and engaging.

- The relationship between technology and gender equality
- Feminist perspectives on business and the economy
- The impact of technology on health and well-being, especially for marginalized communities
- How sports, media, and technology intersect with identity, gender, and culture
When submitting an article, be sure that the topic aligns with our content themes. If you have an idea for a submission that falls outside these areas but think it aligns with our ethos, feel free to pitch it. We are always open to new ideas that challenge conventional narratives.

Proper Structure
A well-structured article is essential for clarity and readability. Here are the basic structural guidelines to follow when writing for Cursor Magazine:
- Title: The title should be catchy, clear, and convey the essence of your article. It should grab the reader’s attention and give them an idea of what the article will discuss.
- Introduction: Begin with a strong hook to capture the reader’s attention. The introduction should set the tone for the article and introduce the central theme or argument.
- Body: The main body of your article should be divided into clearly defined sections with headings and subheadings. This makes it easier for readers to navigate through your content. Each section should focus on one point or argument and support it with examples, research, or personal anecdotes.
- Conclusion: Summarize the key points of your article and end with a call to action, thought-provoking statement, or a question to engage readers.
- Subheadings: Use subheadings to break up long sections of text, making the article more readable.
- Links and References: If you reference other articles, studies, or research, be sure to include relevant links to credible sources.
Example Structure:
- Title: “How Women Are Shaping the Future of Artificial Intelligence”
- Introduction: Overview of the rise of women in AI.
- Section 1: The importance of diversity in AI development.
- Section 2: Notable women in AI and their contributions.
- Section 3: Challenges and opportunities for women in the field.
- Conclusion: How can we further support and amplify women in AI?
Word Limit
The ideal length for an article on Cursor Magazine is between 1,000 to 2,000 words. This word count is optimal for keeping the reader’s attention while providing enough depth and analysis to make the article informative and valuable.
While we are open to longer pieces, we ask that they remain concise, engaging, and avoid unnecessary filler content. Quality over quantity is key.
If your article exceeds 2,000 words, we recommend breaking it into multiple parts or summarizing longer sections to maintain readability.
Key Points for Word Limit:
- Articles should range between 1,000 and 2,000 words.
- Longer articles are acceptable but should be broken into digestible sections.
- Avoid excessive verbosity or redundant points.
Images
To enhance your article and provide a visually engaging experience for readers, we encourage you to include images, graphics, or infographics where appropriate. Visual content helps break up large blocks of text and makes your article more visually appealing.
When submitting images:
- Ensure they are high quality and relevant to the topic.
- Provide proper attribution and permissions for images that are not your own.
- If possible, include captions for images to provide context.
- Cursor Magazine reserves the right to edit or remove any images that do not meet our standards.
If you are unable to provide images, don’t worry—we can source them for you, but it is always helpful to submit visuals where you can.
