Writer Guidelines

Before submitting your articles to Constant-Content, please read and abide by the following guidelines. Deviation from these guidelines will result in submission rejection.

 

Articles MUST:

  • Follow professional writing standards, including punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure, and be free of awkward wording.

  • Contain introductions and conclusions in addition to the body.

  • Present useful information.

  • Present information in a concise manner by eliminating wordiness

  • Be free of unprofessional vocabulary, derogatory remarks, or innuendo towards any individual or group--including those that may be construed as offensive by any person of a certain race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.

Use your spell and grammar checker, but don�t depend on them to find every mistake. Proofread and proofread again. If you have problems editing your own work, have someone proofread it for you.

 

We Do NOT Consider:

  • Fiction

  • Poetry

  • Personal accounts/articles written in the first-person point-of-view (Why Aren't Personal Accounts Allowed? )

  • Submissions that contain author bios or sig lines. If you wish to receive a byline, you must include your name within the document text.

  • Promotional articles, or submissions that contain promotional language

  • Submissions that contain author contact information

  • Submissions that contain website addresses or links, except by specific customer request (Why Aren't Links Allowed?)


Required Format:

  • 12-point black font in Times New Roman or Arial

  • Bold and italic font may be used only for emphasis or to offset your subheadings.

  • Properly capitalized titles. Example: How To Care for a New Puppy or Puppy Care: Feeding and Grooming

  • Single-spaced paragraphs without indentation and double spaces between paragraphs.

    • �Single space� means no spaces between lines (i.e., you have pressed the enter key once). �Double space� refers to the act of pressing the Enter key twice and indicates a single line of space between lines of text.


Submission Requirements:

  • The short summary must be a description of the entire article. It should be at least 30 words. It may not be copied and pasted from the body of the article.

  • The content description must include at least 1/3 of your article. Long summaries must be formatted for readability, according to the required format (specified above).


Professionalism and Plagiarism

  • Be professional. When a client purchases and publishes your work, you want it to reflect your professionalism.

  • Plagiarism will not be tolerated. This will result in immediate account suspension.

  • Plagiarism includes:

    • Using text taken directly from another source without citing that source and presenting this information as your own.

    • Rewriting an article (or a significant portion of an article) by another author, using different words and/or sentence structure without adding original thoughts or ideas.

  • The use of images or photos that are not the author's own work is prohibited.


Note: Guidelines are updated periodically, so please check them before making a submission.
