Contribute your story
If you’re a working tradesperson — apprentice, journeyman, master, or independent contractor — and you’re willing to be quoted by name in an article, we want to hear from you.
We’re especially looking for:
- Tradespeople in states with unusual licensing requirements or wage conditions
- Women and veterans in the trades
- People who made a significant career change into the trades after 30
- Business owners who can speak to the financial realities of running a trades company
Your name, trade, state, and years of experience would appear alongside your quotes — the same way a journalist would credit a source. No ghostwriting, no fake testimonials.
Reach out via the form above with “Contributor” in the subject line.
