Constant Content

I thought that for 'casting calls' you just describe why you would be a good candidate to do the sort of writing they want, and include in your email, if possible, reference to published articles. I dont think you have to include or refer to articles which are in the CC catalogue, though you could i...

asking for 1700 words! HA HA!

Dear Constant, it will be a great thing if the contact issue has really been solved. I am about to sent you an email to test it out. Happy Christmas to one and all!

Thanks: the address is different, so fingers crossed it isn't the same person! CC customer guidelines say Do you have a return policy? Yes, when you buy articles from us, you have five days to request a refund for your purchased website content. We consider these requests on a case-by-case basis. Pl...

OH dear! I have just agreed to do four articles in exactly those circumstances! Direct request from CC, another writer dropped out etc. I hope it's not the same buyer! Aren't there any rules about buyers returning articles? Don't they have to have a reason? Isn't there a time limit? It seems crazy i...

What exactly is the difference between writer pool requests and public requests? And what exactly happens if you claim a request? Does that mean only you can work on that article? And do you have to submit an article after you claim a request, or what? I think it must be as before: if you claim a w...

Good that they have allowed us to put in our own certificates and qualifications, and thanks for that, but anyone know how to get rid of the 'surveying: replace me' that appears before whatever it is that you enter? spoils the effect a bit!

They stated that the lower the number, the higher the level, but I was just hoping there was a level 4!

Yes, I have quite a few requests which turn out to be specifically addressed to other people. The rest are articles about things like SEO marketing which I couldn't attempt, but am apparently eligible for! I wish I could record my qualification as a lawyer in England and Wales! Is 3 the bottom level...

Unreasonable rejections wouldn't matter if writers were not fearful that they might lead to adverse consequences, such as suspension, or failure to gain approval for pools. It seems as though the rules for all that sort of thing have evolved over time and the info on the site hasn't kept up. Once th...

It does make me wonder whether there is a technical problem with the Contact email address: maybe that's the cause of some of the communication issues here?

It's true that if a writer uses clumsy or unclear wording, the eds have the job of pointing that out. But those judgments are subjective, and I think the complaint has been that they are sometimes too harsh. We have to accept editorial judgments, but it's wrong to suggest that these are black and wh...

You must have improved. It seems I haven't!

Well done!

I think that WG for one has been here in better times. I have never known the Halcyon days that some people refer to: I have always had loads of rejections, quite often for matters of style, or rules which I don't agree are actually rules. I do think there are too many of those 'matter of taste' rej...
