How do I get featured in ScreenRant?
We develop your story, write the feature to editorial standard, and manage the placement. You approve every word before anything goes live.
About ScreenRant
ScreenRant is a digital entertainment publication founded in 2003 and owned by Valnet Inc. since 2015. It covers TV, movies, gaming, comics and books, and its reviews and news are featured on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.
Why a feature here matters
ScreenRant's readers follow releases, franchises and the people behind them closely, so a well-placed feature puts your project in front of an audience that already cares about the category.
Best for: Film and TV producers, studios and streaming projects, comics creators and publishers, game developers, entertainment talent and their publicists.
How coverage happens at ScreenRant
There are two ways in. The first is to pitch ScreenRant yourself. Its contact page lists Editorial Inquiries for topic ideas and an Events and PR channel for media inquiries. This route is free, but it is slow, replies are not promised, and whether anything runs is entirely the editors' decision. The site also states that it does not accept guest posts, so sending a finished article is not an option. The second way is to work with DNA. We develop an angle that fits one of ScreenRant's sections, write the feature to the site's standard and manage the placement. You approve every word before it goes live, and nothing is published without your sign-off.
The kind of story that lands
ScreenRant is built around TV, movies, gaming, comics and books, and it says it analyses and editorialises the news rather than simply reporting it. The stories that fit have an entertainment hook and a point of view: a director or showrunner explaining a creative choice, an independent production with an unusual route to release, a comics creator reworking a familiar character, or a game studio whose project ties into a film or television property. Interviews and features are core formats on the site, so a story built around a person with something specific to say works better than a company announcement. If your news has no link to what ScreenRant's readers watch, read or play, it is unlikely to be the right fit.
How to Get Featured in ScreenRant
What ScreenRant is
ScreenRant is a digital entertainment publication founded in 2003 and owned by Valnet Inc. since 2015. Getting featured in ScreenRant means getting a story about you, your project or your company in front of readers who follow film, television, gaming and comics closely. There are two realistic ways in: pitch the editorial team yourself through the channels on its contact page, or work with an agency that develops the story, writes it to ScreenRant's standard and manages the placement for you.
ScreenRant's own contributor page states that it does not accept guest posts at the moment, so sending a finished article and asking for it to be published is not a route. Its write for us pages are recruitment pages for regular writers, not a submission desk.
What ScreenRant covers
The site's menu is organised around TV, Movies, Gaming, Comics and Books, with separate news, features and reviews strands for television and film, plus Lists, Interviews and Podcasts. Its about page says the team runs to hundreds of editors, senior journalists, analysts, video creators and specialists, and that ScreenRant's reviews and news are featured on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. It also operates the ScreenRant, ScreenRant Plus and Pitch Meetings YouTube channels.
The same page describes red carpet coverage in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto and London, panels at San Diego Comic-Con, New York Comic-Con, Star Wars Celebration and FAN EXPO events, and attendance at festivals including TIFF, Sundance and Venice. That tells you where the editorial attention sits: releases, franchises, the people who make them and the events around them.
How to get featured in ScreenRant
If you want to try on your own, ScreenRant's contact page lists an Editorial Inquiries channel for topic ideas, feedback and corrections, and an Events and PR channel for upcoming events and media inquiries. A publicist with a release, a screening or talent available for interview would use the second; a story idea goes to the first. Whether anything runs is the editors' decision, and a reply is not promised.
The second route is to work with DNA. We develop an angle that fits one of ScreenRant's sections, write the feature to the site's standard and manage the placement. You approve every word before it goes live. For a comparable entertainment title, see our guide to The Hollywood Reporter.
ScreenRant write for us: what the pages offer
People searching for a ScreenRant write for us page usually land on its Work With Us and contributor pages. The Work With Us page says ScreenRant wants writers who can contribute on a regular basis, with some full-time writing and editor roles, and that invited writers receive a basic introduction to SEO, a guide on formatting their work and an editor to work with. It also states that AI may not be used in content creation or at any stage of recruitment.
The contributor application form asks for:
- a topic area: Movies and TV, Reality TV, Comics, Gaming or Tech
- a 150 to 250 word note on what would make you a great contributor
- up to three links to work you have published
- three content ideas you would propose if accepted
That is a route for writers who want to cover entertainment for ScreenRant, not for a company or creator who wants to be written about.
What makes a strong piece for ScreenRant
ScreenRant's about page says it does not just break and report news but analyses and editorialises it. A strong piece therefore has a clear entertainment hook and something to say about it: a filmmaker explaining a creative decision, a production with a genuine story behind its release, a comics creator's approach to a long-running character, or a game developer whose work connects to a film or television property. Generic company news with no link to what readers watch, read or play rarely fits.
Specifics matter. Names, release details the client can confirm and a quote that adds insight give an editor something to work with.
How the process works
With DNA, the process has four stages:
- Angle. We look at your project and pick the ScreenRant section it genuinely belongs in.
- Draft. We write the feature in the site's tone and format.
- Approval. You review the draft and approve every word before anything goes further.
- Placement. We manage the placement and send you the live link.
How long it takes
Expect weeks rather than days. Timing depends on how quickly the angle is agreed, how many rounds of approval the draft needs and the site's own editorial schedule, so we do not quote a fixed turnaround.

Questions about ScreenRant
Is the ScreenRant coverage a real, published feature?
Yes. It is a genuine article published on the outlet, written about you and your work — not an ad you design yourself.
How long does it take?
Most placements take weeks rather than days. We give you a realistic timeline for ScreenRant before we start, and never promise a date we cannot control.
What if I am not happy with the draft?
You review and revise until it is right. Nothing publishes without your approval.
Does ScreenRant accept guest posts?
No. Its contributor page states that it does not accept guest posts at the moment. The application form there is for people who want to join as regular contributors.
How do I write for ScreenRant?
Apply through the Work With Us page or the contributor form, choosing a topic area and including links to published work and three content ideas. The site says it does not allow AI in content creation or at any stage of recruitment.
Can I pitch a story about my film, show or company to ScreenRant?
You can. The contact page lists Editorial Inquiries for topic ideas and Events and PR for media inquiries, and the editors decide what runs. Alternatively, DNA can develop and place a feature that you approve before it goes live.
