+# GUIDELINES
+
+Thanks for considering to write for Fediverse.Party.
+
+Contact [@lostinlight](https://mastodon.xyz/@lostinlight) via a Direct Message in case of any questions or if you need help with brainstorming ideas for an article, proofreading, conducting an interview.
+
+Here are some guidelines that may help:
+
+0. Fediverse.party covers all software federating via one of the four protocols: OStatus, diaspora, Zot, ActivityPub - your article will most likely be about one or several of such projects.
+
+1. If you have already published something interesting about federated networks on your blog or personal website, the link to your external article may be added to the relevant section of this website. We'd like to post unique content as internal articles rather than mirror content already published somewhere else.
+
+2. This website's target audience is newcomers to Fediverse. They may or may not have any technical background. Don't hesitate to explain simple "evident" concepts - it's better than assuming everyone will understand.
+
+3. Articles are fun with illustrations. A banner illustration is required for the header, but may be you'll think of more images to make your narration visually appealing. If you need help with finding suitable images, contact [@lostinlight](https://mastodon.xyz/@lostinlight).
+
+4. We all believe in something and support someone, we all differ in our preferences. Try to avoid religious and political aspects where possible. Please, be inclusive.
+
+5. Laughter is the best medicine! Jokes highly appreciated in any narration, as long as they respect all human beings and aren't too niche (we'd like readers to understand them:).
+
+Read [Contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for technical details.
