We publish guides about converting between tons and kilograms for people working with real shipping, farming and construction figures. If you can explain the mechanics accurately and show your arithmetic, we would like to read your pitch.

- No affiliate links
- Editor checks the maths
Topics
What we are looking for
Conversion mechanics we have not covered
Anything about how ton and kilogram conversions actually work that is missing from the guides — unusual unit definitions, regional ton types, industry-specific rounding rules.
Comparisons between ton types
Metric tons against short and long tons where the distinction matters. The comparison has to be numerical, not a list of adjectives.
Units in a specific industry
How a field like shipping, agriculture or construction should handle ton figures, with the arithmetic shown rather than asserted.
Weight units outside the metric system
Hundredweights, stones and other traditional weight units and how they relate to the ton. This is the biggest genuine gap on the site.
Every guide has to earn its place next to a working calculator. If a claim in your piece can be checked against the metric tons calculator or the short tons calculator, we will check it — and the published figure will be whatever the constant returns, not whatever the draft said. Our methodology page documents exactly how that verification works.
Editorial standards
What we ask of a submission
Original and unpublished. We run a copy check before anything goes live, and syndicated pieces are declined.
Every number must be reproducible. If you state a figure, state the inputs and the constant that produced it — we re-derive each one before publishing.
Cite primary sources. The SI brochure, BIPM and NIST publications, and national measurement standards. Not another blog's summary of them.
No affiliate links, no vendor placements, no sponsored tables. This is a calculation site and that has to stay true.
1,200–2,500 words, written for someone who needs to convert a real figure — not for a keyword target.
You keep the byline, with a link to one profile of your choice. Nothing is published under a house pseudonym.
How to pitch
Send it here
- 1
Email a working title and a three-to-five bullet outline. Not a full draft — we would rather agree the angle before you spend the hours.
- 2
Include the primary sources you intend to cite, and one link to something you have written before.
- 3
If we commission it, you get a deadline and a style note. Drafts are edited for accuracy first and house voice second.
- 4
You approve the final edit before it publishes, and the byline links wherever you choose.
For anything that is not a contribution — a conversion that looks wrong, a translation that reads badly, a topic gap — the contact page is the faster route. Corrections to a published figure are prioritised over everything else.
Questions
Before you pitch
Not currently. What we offer is a byline, a link to a profile of your choice, and an editor who will actually check your arithmetic before it goes out. If your goal is a paid placement, this is not that.
Formulas and content last reviewed . Ton definitions are fixed by the SI — but always confirm which ton type a source means before you convert.
Know the subject? Try the tools first
The best pitches come from people who have used the calculators and found the gap themselves. Run a few conversions, then tell us what is missing.
