Phonetic Spelling Generator began as a free tool for turning words and names into IPA, syllables, and spoken audio. Today our blog covers the wider world of education - from classroom teaching and literacy to language learning and study skills. We welcome articles from people with real experience, as long as the writing is accurate, original, and carefully proofread.
What to write

Why contribute
Why Educators and Writers Contribute Here
We are an independent team of linguists, engineers, and editors with no ties to any course provider, publisher, or school. Our only test for an article is whether it genuinely helps the reader.

- Use clear H2 and H3 subheadings so readers can scan.

Voice and readability
- Use plain English that students, parents, and new teachers can follow.
- Speak directly to the reader as "you".
- Define technical or academic terms the first time they appear.

FAQ
Contributor FAQs
Quick answers to what contributors ask most. Still unsure? Email
info@
Which education topics do you accept?
We publish practical articles on teaching, language learning, literacy and phonics, pronunciation, study skills, EdTech, inclusive education, and multilingual learning. If your idea helps someone learn or teach more effectively, pitch it.
Do I need to mention your pronunciation tool?
No. Focus on writing the most useful article you can. You may reference the tool if it naturally supports a point, but it is never a requirement.
Where do I send my article?
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Post Submission: [Your Article Title]". Attach a Google Doc link with comment access or a Word file, and send images as separate files.
What length works best?
Most accepted articles are 1,200 to 2,500 words. A shorter piece is fine if it fully answers the reader's question; usefulness matters more than length.
Am I allowed a link back to my site?
Yes. You get one link in your author bio and up to two relevant, helpful links in the article body. Promotional, affiliate, or off-topic links are removed during editing.
What is your policy on AI writing tools?
AI is fine for research or grammar checks, but the ideas, examples, and wording must be yours. We do not accept unedited AI-generated text, and you must check every fact and IPA transcription yourself.
When will I hear back?
We normally reply within a week. If two weeks pass without a response, feel free to submit your article to another publication.
May I repost the article on my own blog?
Please do not republish the full article. A short excerpt with a link to the original post on our site is welcome.
Do you pay contributors?
We do not currently pay for contributed articles, and we never charge for publication. Contributors receive a byline, an author bio with a link, and editorial support.
