Give the Gift of Guidelines

[Ed]

Hi Writers,

With the guidelines having been recently updated with all that is required to get articles accepted at CC, it is indeed frustrating to me that there have been many new authors who have submitted articles (sometimes in bulk) without following the guidelines. It is beyond me that anyone would submit to any website or publication without going over the guidelines with a fine-toothed comb and adhering to them stringently.

So . . . if you have recommended writers to the site or have a link that directs would-be writers here, please give them information about the guidelines and tell them they MUST be followed in order for articles to be accepted.

With the email system having been on the fritz, I have no idea if individuals are even getting rejection notices. With the submission volume picking up, this can result in a lot of wasted time for everyone.

Writers are generally breaking the following guidelines:
No links or web addresses
Original short summaries
Correctly capitalized titles

Thanks for your help,
Ed
