Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Not a directory — earned editorial only; no submission form or listing product
- The /contact page routes by inquiry type: 'Editorial Inquiries' for topic ideas/feedback, 'Events & PR' for media inquiries, 'Partnership' for commercial opportunities
- Consumer-tech focus (devices, apps, entertainment, car tech) — a SaaS product needs a consumer-app angle
- Valnet Publishing Group property — same operator as MakeUseOf and other network sites
Prepare before opening the form
- A consumer-tech angle — app, gadget, or software story
- Press release or concise pitch routed through the 'Editorial Inquiries' or 'Events & PR' category on the contact form
Workflow
- Open https://www.pocket-lint.com/contact/
- Choose the right inquiry category (Editorial for pitches, Events & PR for media relations)
- Submit the pitch/press release via the interactive form
- Coverage, if it happens, is a staff-written article or review — no listing page is created
Watch for
- The contact page is a categorized form, not a published inbox — expect no direct email address
- Valnet sites share infrastructure — identical pitches across the network may read as spam
- No guest-post or contributed-content program is advertised
- Reviews are staff-produced ('Our Review Methodology' page exists)
What counts as live
A Pocket-lint article or review mentioning the product is published at pocket-lint.com
