A small, quiet board for indie devs · open beta

A quiet place
to be seen.

Indie Guest Posts is a small, free board where indie sites post the guest posts they're looking for, and indie writers find homes for their work. No agencies. No cold DMs. No AI slop.

Your work deserves readers. This is the room.

why indie guest posts

You shipped the thing. Now be seen.

Indie launches don't fail because the work is bad. They fail because no one knows. Indie Guest Posts is a small lift for both sides of that problem.

01

Get found, not buried

The web rewards size. You don't have size yet. Get your writing in front of indie readers who actually click, read, and reply, instead of disappearing under an SEO landfill.

02

Find your people

Read the opportunities and pick the ones that fit what you actually want to write about. No agencies, no DM bots, no scrambling to pitch strangers in your inbox.

03

You're not alone in this

Indie devs lifting indie devs. The whole board only works if both sides are small, kind, and real. That's the only rule. We hold it.

how it works

Post. Browse. Apply.

We host the board. The rest is up to you. No middleman, no matchmaker. Just a small place where indie work finds indie readers.

01

Post an opportunity

Site owners post what they're looking for: the topic, the tone, the kind of writer that would fit. Takes about four minutes.

02

Browse and apply

Writers read the board and apply to ones that click. A few honest sentences, samples, why this one. Quality over volume.

03

Connect and ship

Site owners pick who they want to work with and reach out directly. From there it's just writing and publishing. Your byline, your readers.

questions, fairly asked

Things people ask before joining.

Yes. Posting an opportunity, applying to one, the whole board: free. We're working on a small paid plan with extras down the road, but the core network stays free.

No. Most indie devs here run small, real audiences. Site owners care about whether you can write, not what your follower count looks like. Same the other way: you don't need a famous blog to attract good writers.

A site posts an opportunity: the topic, the tone, the kind of writer they're hoping for. Writers see it on the board and send a short application: a few sentences, samples, why this one. Site owners read them and reply directly. We're not in the middle.

Real life. Not every application will land. But every site owner is asked to send a quick "not this one" rather than ghost. Being ignored is the thing this whole site exists to fix.

No. Indie readers spot it instantly, and the kind of trust we're building doesn't survive it. People come here for your voice, not a draft from a model.

Your next reader is already on someone else's site.

Post a slot, or find one. Free, forever.
