AI writes a complete 2,000-word guest post tailored to any publication and angle you choose.
Generate your guest post first draft
River's Guest Post Writer generates complete 2,000-word guest post first drafts based on your target publication and angle. You provide the publication name and describe your angle, and the AI writes a full article with introduction, body sections, examples, and conclusion. Whether you're pitching to marketing blogs, business publications, or niche industry sites, you get a complete draft you can paste directly into Google Docs and refine.
Unlike generic content generators that produce shallow filler, we create in-depth articles that match guest post expectations. The AI understands guest post structure (strong hook, clear takeaways, actionable advice, author credibility), incorporates relevant examples, and writes in the professional but conversational tone most publications want. You get content that feels complete, not a bare-bones outline you have to rebuild from scratch.
This tool is perfect for freelance bloggers who pitch guest posts regularly, content marketers building backlinks through guest contributions, and thought leaders establishing authority in their niche. If you spend hours staring at blank pages trying to start guest posts, or if you have multiple pitches accepted and need to draft quickly, this tool helps. Use it when you know your angle and just need a solid first draft to work from.
What Makes Guest Posts Get Accepted
Guest posts succeed when they deliver genuine value to the publication's audience, not when they're thinly veiled promotion. Editors accept posts that teach readers something useful, share unique insights or experiences, and match the publication's style and quality standards. Weak guest posts read like sales pitches, rehash common advice without new angles, or feel generic (like they could run anywhere). Strong guest posts feel written specifically for that publication's readers.
The best guest posts follow a proven structure. Start with a hook that grabs attention (surprising stat, relatable problem, bold claim). Establish credibility early (why should readers listen to you?). Deliver 3 to 5 main points with specific examples, stories, or data backing each one. Make advice actionable (readers should know exactly what to do). End with a clear takeaway and optionally a subtle mention of your work. Avoid fluff, filler sentences, and generic tips readers have seen everywhere.
To improve your guest post acceptance rate, study the publication first. Read 5 to 10 recent posts to understand their tone (casual or formal?), length (800 words or 2,000?), and topics (what angles have they not covered?). Pitch specific ideas, not vague topics. Once accepted, deliver drafts that need minimal editing. Editors remember writers who submit clean, on-target drafts and invite them back. Sloppy first drafts that need heavy revision hurt your chances of repeat invitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this draft actually get accepted by editors?
The AI creates a solid first draft that follows guest post best practices, but you'll need to personalize it before submitting. Editors expect content written specifically for their publication, with your unique voice and experiences. Use this draft as your foundation, then add specific examples from your work, adjust the tone to match the publication, and ensure it addresses their audience's needs. Think of it as getting 80% of the way there so you can focus on the final 20% that makes it distinctly yours.
How long does it take to generate a 2,000-word post?
Most drafts generate in 3 to 5 minutes. The AI writes the complete article in one pass, including introduction, body sections with examples, and conclusion. You get a finished draft, not a partial outline you have to expand. The time investment is minimal compared to writing 2,000 words from scratch, which typically takes 3 to 6 hours for most writers.
Can I use this for multiple publications?
Yes! Generate as many drafts as you need for different publications and angles. Each generation creates a unique article based on the publication and angle you provide. If you're pitching similar topics to different publications, run multiple generations with adjusted angles for each. The AI tailors content to your specific inputs, so drafts for different publications will differ appropriately.
Does this work for niche industry publications or just general business blogs?
It works for any publication type. Provide the publication name and a clear angle, and the AI generates appropriate content. For highly technical or specialized topics, you'll need to add more industry-specific details and terminology during your revision. The draft gives you structure and flow, but domain expertise should come from you. This is especially valuable for niche topics because it handles the writing mechanics so you can focus on adding the specialized knowledge only you have.
What if the draft isn't quite the right tone?
Adjusting tone during revision is normal and expected. The AI aims for a professional but conversational style that works for most business and marketing publications. If your target publication is more casual or more formal, edit accordingly. The hard work (structure, flow, examples) is done. Tweaking tone takes minutes, not hours. You're refining a complete draft, not starting from zero.
