Write for Us
We publish articles on natural stone written by the people who handle it — quarry operators, fabricators, architects, and traders.
Who we publish
We look for first-hand knowledge before writing ability. Prose can be edited. Experience cannot be manufactured.
Stone Galleria LLP, a natural stone i.e., granite, sandstone, marble, quartzite and slate manufacturer and exporter in Rajasthan, runs this journal for readers making a real specification or purchase decision. The articles that serve them come from people who have stood in a quarry, run a gangsaw, or watched an installation fail.
Extraction yields, block sizes, defect rates, how a deposit changes with depth and season.
What breaks on site, working tolerances, tooling, edge and finish limits.
Specification decisions on real projects — why a material was chosen, or rejected.
Container loading, grading disputes, freight, and what landed cost actually includes.
Petrography, ASTM and EN test data, weathering and durability behaviour.
No stone background needed if you can interview people who have one and cite them by name.
What a draft has to clear
Contributed articles are held to the same standards as our own.
Before you draft, read our editorial standards. It sets out how we source claims, how we verify them, how we handle corrections, and where our commercial interest sits. Contributed work is checked against the same document — there is no separate, easier bar for guest articles.
What we return unread
- Press releases, company profiles, and product launches
- Articles written to place a backlink, whatever the stated topic
- Unedited AI output — research with it if you like, but a person must fact-check the draft
- Claims with no source behind them: "widely regarded", "known for", "many people believe"
- Work already published elsewhere, including your own blog — we occasionally republish with consent and a link to the original, but ask before you send it
We would rather publish nothing this month than publish something a reader cannot rely on.
Topics we cover
Anything about natural stone, including materials we do not sell.
Articles run 600–2,500 words. Most of what we publish sits near 1,500. Write to the topic, not to a word count. Before you pitch, read what we have already published — it is the fastest way to see the structure, depth, and tone we are asking for.
How to submit
Send a pitch before you write the whole article. It saves us both the work.
A pitch is two paragraphs: what you intend to argue, and what you know or can access that nobody else writing on this topic does. An outline helps. A finished draft is welcome but carries more risk — if the angle is wrong, the rewrite is larger.
Google Docs links are easiest, because editors comment inside the document. Plain text, Markdown, and links to HTML also work. Please do not send ZIP files unless we ask for one.
-
An editor reads it First read within 7–14 business days. Not every pitch gets past this stage.
-
We check the fit Against what is already published and what is already scheduled, so two articles do not compete for the same search.
-
You get written notes Specific revision points, not a form rejection.
-
You revise Resubmit when ready. Most articles go through one or two rounds.
-
We confirm acceptance In writing, before any scheduling.
-
An editor works through it Polish, headings, internal links, and images, agreed with you rather than applied silently.
-
It goes on the calendar We set a publication date once revisions are finished.
We cannot commit to a publication date earlier than that final step. If a date matters to you, say so in the pitch and we will tell you upfront whether it is possible.
What it costs, and what you get
Money moves in neither direction. Stated plainly, because the alternative wastes your time.
Terms
Short version: you keep the credit, we keep the page.
By submitting an article to Stone Galleria LLP, you give us permission to publish it on stonegalleria.in and our related channels. You remain the credited author.
We edit for clarity, structure, formatting, SEO, and images. We do not change what your article argues. Where an edit would alter your meaning, we send it back to you before it runs.
Published articles stay exclusive to Stone Galleria unless we approve republication in writing. This protects both sides from duplicate-content problems.
You confirm that the work is original or properly licensed, and that it infringes nobody's rights — text, images, and data included.
We may decline a submission without giving a detailed reason. We may also unpublish an article if a claim in it turns out to be wrong and cannot be corrected.
