WESFIN NEWS / Authors / Columns / Blogs
Write for Wesfin News.
We invite energy professionals to write columns, run author blogs and explain complex subjects: markets, regulation, flexibility, storage, grids and e-mobility. You write under your own name, with editorial support and transparent rules.
Column
The author’s view on an event or decision. Labelled as opinion, with a conflict of interest declaration.
Author blog
Regular posts on your author page: biography, article archive and topic collections.
Analysis & explainers
Breakdowns of data, regulatory change or technology, with links to primary sources.
How to join
It usually takes 2–3 weeks from application to first publication.
- 01
Apply
Fill in the form below: topics, experience, writing samples and a conflict of interest declaration.
- 02
Talk to the editors
An editor replies within 10 working days and, if the subject fits, invites you to a short call.
- 03
CMS access
You receive an invitation to a Wesfin account with two-factor authentication and the author role in the CMS.
- 04
First pieces
Every piece by a new author is reviewed by an editor. If changes are needed, you get a written explanation.
- 05
Trusted author
After three editor-approved pieces, the editor-in-chief may grant trusted status, and your columns and analysis are reviewed faster by the editorial agent.
Rules for authors
- You write under your real name; we do not publish anonymous columns.
- Figures, dates and quotes are backed by links to primary sources.
- Conflicts of interest are declared in every piece: employer, clients, stakes in companies.
- Hidden advertising is forbidden. Paid content runs only labelled “Advertising”, never as a column.
- Editors may edit style and headlines but will not change your position without your agreement.
- Regulation, news and press releases are always reviewed by an editor.
- Errors are corrected openly, with a revision history.
- Only the editorial team publishes, after approval.
How to get CMS access
There are no separate CMS passwords, and for security there is no public sign-in page on the site.
Authors
Access opens once your application is approved: an invitation arrives by email and you sign in with your Wesfin account and two-factor authentication.
Editors
The editor role is granted on the editor-in-chief’s written decision. Ask them, and they will pass the request to the platform administrator.
Revocation
Access ends as soon as the account is removed from the CMS list. Breaking the rules suspends submissions.
Author application
Tell us about yourself and the subjects you want to cover.
Online submissions will open when the portal launches.
