Submit your Article

Want to submit your article to this blog? Here's a checklist that can help you.

This is a blog for Mobile App UI/UX design and Android Development, run by Suleiman Ali Shakir, a passionate designer and developer.

What to know before you start

All articles are well-researched, include generous images and code snippets where relevant, and cite proof from around the web to back up claims.

Most readers are Android developers and designers who expect in-depth tutorials that solve real design or development problems. Your topic might be complex, but it should still be easy for anyone to read and understand.

Before writing, read a few existing articles to get a feel for the writing style and tone, and to avoid duplicating a topic that's already been covered.

Type of posts to submit

Anything related to Android design and development, Material Design, mobile UI and UX.

Word limit: At least 800 words

What NOT to submit:

• Articles originally published elsewhere (reposting)
• Spun content
• Rewrites of posts already published on this blog or elsewhere

Checklist

Once your first draft is ready, go through this before submitting:

1. Follow heading hierarchy (H1 to H6)
2. Add enough visual relief in the form of images and line breaks
3. Images should:
   • be named properly
   • be compressed (e.g. TinyPNG)
   • have a maximum height of 500px
4. Give credit when using text or images from external sources
5. Include neatly formatted code or link to GitHub Gists
6. If you have a sample app, link to the full source code (e.g. a GitHub repo) at the end of the post
7. Run your content through Hemingway and Grammarly

How to submit

Submit your post in one of these formats:

• Microsoft Word file
• Google Doc link

Include all images in a .zip file. Email everything to hi@iamsuleiman.com.

Along with your article, include:

1. A photo of yourself

I'll review your article and get back to you as soon as possible.
