+# Members Directory Contribution Guide
+
+Welcome! This guide walks you through adding yourself to the Research Coding Community members directory while practising the GitHub pull-request workflow.
+
+> Looking for the directory itself? Head to the [Members directory](directory) to see the growing list of contributors.
+
+## Step-by-step: add yourself via pull request
+
+1. **Fork the repo**  
+   Visit [coding-for-reproducible-research/Research_Coding_Community](https://github.com/coding-for-reproducible-research/Research_Coding_Community) and click `Fork`.
+
+2. **Clone your fork**  
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/Research_Coding_Community.git
+   cd Research_Coding_Community
+   ```
+
+3. **Create a branch for your entry**  
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b add-<your-name>-to-directory
+   ```
+
+4. **Edit the directory**  
+   Open `members/directory.md` and add a new row to the table. Include:
+   - Your name
+   - A link to your GitHub profile
+   - A short note about something you're proud of (project, publication, community work, etc.)
+   - Optional but encouraged: a fun fact, emoji, or link that showcases your personality
+
+   > Tip: keep the table alphabetised by first name so it stays easy to browse.
+
+5. **Commit your change**  
+   ```bash
+   git add members/directory.md
+   git commit -m "Add <Your Name> to members directory"
+   ```
+
+6. **Push and open a PR**  
+   ```bash
+   git push origin add-<your-name>-to-directory
+   ```
+   Then open a pull request back to the main repository. Tell us briefly what you added and hit submit!
+
+7. **Celebrate & share**  
+   Once your PR is merged, your entry becomes part of the official directory—and you’ve just contributed to an open-source project. 🎉
+
+## Need inspiration?
+
+- Browse existing entries in the [Members directory](directory) for examples.
+- Pair up with a friend and review each other's pull requests.
+- Ready for more? Tackle a documentation typo, propose a new resource, or share a lesson learned in your research coding journey.
+
+When you're done, drop into the community spaces and let folks know you joined—new contributors are always welcome!
