How do I contribute a PR to a module?

Seasoned developer here. Total n00b to OSS development.

I wanted to dip my toe in the water by sumbitting a PR to edit someone’s readme. It appears I don’t have write requests to the repo, which makes total sense… so how is this usually done?
Do I fork the whole repo and then request a merge or something?

Is there a guide somewhere?

1. Make a GITHUB account
2. Fork the original target repository to your account.
3. git-clone forked repo into your local dev pc.
4. Do your modifications in your local repo.
5. Commit your modified version to your GitHub.
6. Make PR to the original target repo.
7. Wait for confirmation and merging by original owner.
