Write for QA Meditations

QA Meditations is a practitioner's notebook, and I'd like to hear from other practitioners. If you have an idea for a piece, whether it agrees with something here, argues with it, or comes from somewhere I haven't been, write to me first.

What I look for

• Something you saw, did, or got wrong, told from where you stood.
• A claim someone can argue with. Ideas offered for debate beat conclusions handed down.
• Craft over tools. The best pieces here are about judgment, not features.

How it works

• Send me the idea, not the article. A paragraph is plenty, plus who you are and a link to anything you've written before.
• I read every pitch, though I can't promise a quick answer, and I may say no.
• If we go ahead, I may suggest edits. Nothing goes up without your okay, and it runs under your name with a line about who you are.
• You keep the copyright. You're giving me permission to publish it here. This is an unpaid, practitioner-to-practitioner space.

One request

Someone needs to stand behind every word. Tools are fine for help, but a piece with no person and no stake behind it isn't what this site is for.
