Content Guidelines

To ensure quality and consistency, please follow these guidelines for all submissions.

Word Count and Originality

Articles should generally be between 800 and 1500 words. All submissions must be 100% original work, created exclusively for APID.ae.

Do not submit content that has been published elsewhere, including on personal blogs or other websites. We require exclusive publishing rights for all accepted articles.

Sourcing and Accuracy

All factual claims must be accurate and supported by credible sources. Please cite any data, statistics, or direct quotes properly.

Unattributed claims or vague references will require revision. We prioritize well-researched content that offers genuine value to our readers.

Formatting Preferences

Please structure your article with clear subheadings to break up the text. Use short paragraphs, typically 2-4 sentences each. Bullet points and numbered lists improve readability.

Submit your article as a clean Word document. Do not use excessive bolding or complex formatting. We will handle final styling during the editing process.

Images

High-resolution images enhance an article. If you provide images, ensure they are relevant, high quality, and that you have all necessary rights for publication.

Include proper captions and credit information for all visual assets. Submit images separately as JPG or PNG files, not embedded in the document.

What We Do Not Accept

Please avoid submitting content that falls into these categories.

  • Promotional articles, advertorials, or press releases
  • AI-generated content or content heavily reliant on AI tools
  • Previously published work, even on personal platforms
  • Content with unverified claims or poor sourcing
  • Material unrelated to professional interior design or the APID.ae niche
  • Content that is offensive, discriminatory, or inappropriate

Submit your article ideas or completed drafts to our editorial team. We recommend sending a query letter first with your proposed topic and a brief outline.

  • Email your submission to [email protected].
  • Include a brief author bio (50-75 words) and any relevant links to your professional portfolio or website.
  • Attach your article as a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx).
