Balochistan Pulse Writer Submission Guidelines
Welcome to Balochistan Pulse!
At Balochistan Pulse, we believe in amplifying diverse and well-informed opinions. With a strong readership across Balochistan and beyond, our platform is dedicated to providing a space for thought-provoking analysis, informed commentary, and diverse perspectives. We invite contributions from experts, writers, and thinkers who want their voice to reach policymakers, opinion shapers, and the broader community.
To ensure your submission meets our standards and connects with our audience, we have outlined the following guidelines:
What Balochistan Pulse is Looking For
- Expertise & Knowledge
Write on topics where you have expertise or direct exposure. Readers trust opinions grounded in professional knowledge and experience. If you are a doctor, educator, lawyer, journalist, policy expert, civil servant, or hold a similar position, use your expertise to present an informed perspective. Ensure your 2-3-line byline highlights your professional credentials to establish credibility.
- Opinions Backed with Facts & Evidence
While Op-Eds represent opinions, these opinions must be supported with facts, data, and credible sources. Strong arguments are built on solid evidence, such as statistics, case studies, and quotes from experts. Ask yourself:
- Why should readers believe your argument?
- What makes your perspective worth their time?
We encourage writers to review resources like:
- New York Times: Tips for Aspiring Op-Ed Writers
- The Op-Ed Project: Writing Tips
- Harvard University: How to Write an Op-Ed or Column
- Clarity, Grammar, and Language
Effective communication requires clarity and precision. Many submissions fail due to grammar or structural issues. Before submitting, review and edit your article to ensure proper sentence construction and coherence.
- Use tools like Grammarly or ProWritingAid to polish your piece.
- Test your language skills using resources like Cambridge Assessment English Tests.
