I’m trying to find technical publishers that allow vendor-written articles

If you mean technical publishers/media outlets that accept articles written by vendors, sponsors, or industry contributors, there are a few common categories to look at:

1) Sponsored content / contributed article publishers

These outlets often publish vendor-written pieces as:

• Sponsored posts
• Partner content
• Contributed articles
• Guest posts with disclosure

Examples to explore:

• TechTarget (various sponsored content programs)
• DZone (partner content / sponsored posts)
• The New Stack (partner content options)
• InfoQ (industry articles, sometimes sponsored depending on program)
• VentureBeat (sponsored content programs)
• CIO / Computerworld / CSO / InfoWorld (often via branded content programs through their parent publisher)
• Network World (similar branded-content opportunities)
• SiliconANGLE (sponsored/editorial opportunities)
• SD Times (contributed and sponsored content options)
• eWeek (sponsored content via media partners)

2) Engineering/developer publications that accept contributions

Some are more selective, but may accept vendor-authored pieces if they are genuinely educational:

• Stack Overflow Blog (usually not vendor pitches, but partner programs exist)
• Dev.to (community posts; vendor content allowed if disclosed and useful)
• HackerNoon (contributor-friendly, but editorial rules still apply)
• CSS-Tricks / Smashing Magazine style outlets are usually stricter, but worth checking if your content is truly technical

3) Trade publishers with “advertorial” or “content marketing” options

Often best for vendor-written technical content:

• Industry B2B publications in:
  • cybersecurity
  • cloud/DevOps
  • data/AI
  • enterprise IT
  • software development
  • networking

These usually sell:

• sponsored articles
• white paper syndication
• newsletter sponsorships
• native ads

How to identify the right ones quickly

Search for site terms like:

• sponsored content
• partner content
• branded content
• native advertising
• submit an article
• guest post
• contributed content
• write for us

Important note

Many technical publications do allow vendor-written articles, but usually only if they are:

• educational, not salesy
• clearly labeled as sponsored or contributed
• written with editorial standards and disclosure
• approved by an editor or branded-content team

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a curated list by topic (AI, cybersecurity, cloud, DevOps, etc.), or
2. a list of specific publishers with their submission/sponsored-content pages.
