If you build exceptional furniture and can explain your process clearly, Popular Woodworking wants to hear from you.

The publication is looking for skilled contributors from a wide range of backgrounds—including professional woodworkers, engineers, makers, artists, and craftspeople—who can create engaging, practical content for its magazine and digital platforms.

Successful contributors don’t just make impressive projects. They also produce high-quality photos, write concise and informative articles, meet deadlines, and collaborate with editors to create content that helps readers build better.

When pitching, include:

• Your article idea
• Photos or sketches of the project
• What makes the project or technique unique
• Estimated build time
• Approximate material costs
• A short introduction about yourself
• Links to your website, portfolio, or social media
• Examples of previous woodworking projects

If your pitch is accepted, you’ll agree on payment, deadlines, and scope before signing a contract.

Most feature articles are approximately 2,500 words and typically require around 20 high-quality photos with captions, plus one or two illustrations.

Beyond feature stories, Popular Woodworking also welcomes pitches for:

• Tool reviews
• Woodworking tips and tricks
• Blog posts
• Maker profiles
• Videos
• Educational online content

If you have valuable woodworking knowledge and can teach others through strong writing and visuals, this is an excellent opportunity to publish your work while earning premium freelance rates.
