Rejected for being an autobiography?
Back in October I wrote an article for a request which wanted fun, playful, and magazine style articles about artists. So I wrote a piece about a new geek fandom artists who is up and coming into the art scene. (The request expired by the time they reviewed the article over a week later after the in...

Re: awkward wording!
I suspect that the editors are bouncing back these articles for "awkward wording" for a grammatical aspect and also to improve their bottom line. I suspect they are less worried about spiders and SEO than readability and smooth text. Therefore, being even more of a perfectionist than the e...

Re: Capitalization question
Like Jak said, maybe its refers to one small mistake within the article. I got a two sentence rejection about misuse of capitols (in about a 200 word rejection "essay" only to find one errant capitalized first word of a sentence and no other errant capitals or forgotten capitals. When I re...

Writer Guidelines Printable Book (and a small request)
What would be extraordinarily helpful to writers here is an all inclusive guidelines book which we can print out. The Writer Guidelines Book should include a page or two of general checklist items of things found within the book, for writers to reference when editing their article. I'd go as far as ...

Re: Paragraphs must be able to stand apart from their subhea
Hallo, It's hard to guess without seeing an article extract. It's only a guess but I've had a rejection in the past because I didn't explicitly re-state the sub-heading in the body of the para.

Paragraphs must be able to stand apart from their subheading
I had an article (actually ten articles) accepted and approved for over a month and I voluntarily took it down to make changes to some long, but not run-on, sentences.
