Submission guidelines
A clear publication. A useful introduction.
What to share when suggesting a newsletter for the ListJoin directory.
Publications within the current scope
ListJoin focuses on editorial newsletters about technology, business, creativity, lifestyle, and education. A publication may fit more than one topic. The important thing is that a reader can understand the subject and the kind of writing or curation they are choosing.
We look for an identifiable newsletter, a working official page, and public material that demonstrates its focus. A purely promotional mailing list with no meaningful sample of editorial content may not be a fit for this directory.
Describe the work accurately
Use a short, specific description rather than a string of superlatives. Explain the main topic, intended reader, typical format, and usual frequency. Clearly identify paid options when they exist. Do not claim an award, readership figure, professional qualification, or partnership without a public source that supports it.
A strong introduction might describe a weekly selection of front-end development tutorials for working developers. It does not need to call itself the world’s best newsletter or promise to transform someone’s career.
Share public samples, not private records
Include an official website and an archived issue or another useful public sample. Do not send someone else’s paid material without permission, private subscriber records, mailing lists, account credentials, or screenshots that expose personal information.
Tell us whether you publish the newsletter, represent its publisher, or are suggesting it as a reader. A reader suggestion should point to public pages rather than purporting to act on the publisher’s behalf.
Reader choice matters
The publisher’s page should explain what a visitor is joining. We favor straightforward expectations around the subject, frequency, and subscription options. A listing should not depend on surprising a reader with unrelated email or disguising a paid commitment.
ListJoin does not manage another publisher’s consent process or certify its legal compliance. Publishers remain responsible for their own practices, and readers should review the terms on the destination website before joining.
Editorial consideration is not a guarantee
Submitting a publication does not guarantee acceptance, placement, a particular description, or a specific number of subscribers. We may edit a supplied description to fit the directory’s style and to remove unsupported claims. A listed publication may be revised or removed when information changes or the fit is no longer clear.
Read the editorial policy for how collections are described. Send a suggestion through the email submission page and include the information requested there.
