Re: Valid Rejection?
if you need a web address you should keep www. and all after. Don't take my word for it though. CC's guidelines have long stated, very clearly, that links must have the "www." removed. The question of whether to embed sources or not depends on the piece, I think. There are times when the ...

Re: More articles needed on car, home and life insurance
Once again I was really impressed by the editors' efficiency in reviewing large volumes of articles in a short timespan. Go team! ;) I think that people often forget that the customers, as well as the writers, who use CC are located internationally so the timezones involved will not always be conven...

Re: articles that match a public request - but wrong price r
I've had articles submitted by CC on my behalf which were priced much higher than the request, and they have sold. On other occasions I have received an offer at the requested price. All I would suggest is that if you are prepared to accept lower for the sale then you could enable the "best off...

Re: Lots of articles needed on mobile phones and energy topi
Hi, now that the deadline has passed, I noticed that there's still a standing request for these. Should we continue to write for these topics? Does the client have a series of deadlines for the same topics? I asked because some of the messages above say things like "we probably have enough XYZ...

Re: Lots of articles needed on mobile phones and energy topi
I'd just like to echo the thanks and support for the editors in the last couple of days. I've participated in the last two bulk-order requests and have been impressed by the turnaround both times. To get that many articles checked through - and not neglect the pending items from other categories and...

Average Review Times and Revisions.
Can anyone give me an idea about what review times are standard now, (as in practice the reality often differs from listed guidelines). I've never waited more than 2 or 3 days for a piece to be checked by the editors, even when it isn't for a request, but have had 4 pending since their submission on...

Re: Formatting subheadings
Important as it is to learn CC's preferences, try not to stress yourself out too much over formatting. Intimidating as things like the 'three strike rule' are at first, most people find that the editors are willing to offer guidance over those issues to newer writers providing the quality of the wri...

Darn, I'll have to slip in a few deliberate mistakes.

Re: Are CC's standards slipping?
Hey there! Just a few hours ago, I got an article rejected for using a space after a slash. The universe is in perfect order. :lol: Haha! That's oddly encouraging, though maybe only for the rest of us! ;) I'm not sure Kaytee, but I don't think so. I remember why I've been absent for so long. After ...

Are CC's standards slipping?
Hi all, After a reasonable absence I've returned to CC and sold a couple of articles. I remember when I submitted my first to the site and how worried I was about rejections. I had a few pieces bounce back for editing but appreciated the feedback and learnt to self-edit more efficiently. Though some...
