Re: edit, resubmit w/o rejection

If you have the original or if you have the full document accessible via the edit feature where you copy and paste it into word to work on, you might want to start over to make your changes and resubmit it as a new article and then go and delete the existing one. I have done it this way.

Re: How to Use Rejected Articles?

I agree with you two. I just got 3 rejections. One asked a question in the summary and I was told the last paragraph was for a conclusion and shouldn't be asking more questions. It was something like, "Could this be the time for you to take your first step?" What a bunch of nonsense. The o...

How to Use Rejected Articles?

I've had a few rejections lately where I was told not to resubmit. Felt like quite a slap in the face. Okay, I've been humbled. Maybe should have let the articles simmer longer. Anyhow, I'm not to resubmit so what suggestions does anyone have to sell elsewhere or put to good use? One I put on my per...

Re: Article rejected because summary was 29 words instead of

I have had a few rejections lately that the editor told me not to resubmit (tossed). I was floored and hurt. Usually, they point out things to correct. I guess they don't want to re-read stuff. But what does it cost them to put it up for sale (even if THEY don't like it) and let a customer decide? I...

Re: What is wrong with this title?

I'm wondering if they changed their rules or have new editors? I have had some rejected and told not to resubmit! Short patience?
They used to make suggestions and we could fix. What does it cost them to put them for sale and let a buyer decide?

Re: New public pool

But this is the 'PUBLIC POOL" not the other pool. You can't claim these requests. The writer would have to write it and submit it before the rest of us get the email imo. I've had about 12 of those in the last two days. Emails that when I click on them, nothing is there.

This "Apply" Nonsense

Why do I never hear back from projects I apply to?

Can't believe they are being nabbed by others so fast, bu maybe.

Once I've applied, if they choose me, does it come through as a private request?

Re: Things You Think New CC Editors Should Know

Was just thinking also that when full rights are bought, the buyer changes the article to suit them. Viewing it that way may help an editor ease up. For instance, with a numbered list that repeats what's in the rest of the content, the buyer could be the one to opt to keep the list or not. It's not ...

Do Some Marketing

We can all help to market. I sometimes write about Constant-Content on my Twitter account, do you? Sometimes I link my content. I have some social media people that follow me so hope they notice. It's about creating awareness.

The more of us that direct traffic here, the more sales we may get.
