Re: Some Questions

Is it safe to charge $40 for a 300 word article? Some say I should charge $20, but I'm just not sure. I want to make money and work smart, not work hard.

Re: Rejection Question

Oh, I do know how that can be, editing so much at once. I went back through it after spending like an entire day away from my work, and I spotted what I thought would be wordy. I did some revising. I'll be resubmitting it. Thanks so much for your quick response. Hopefully, it is okay this time.

Rejection Question

My article, "What to Do if You Are Involved in an Automobile Accident" was rejected due to awkward wording. I'm going to go back through it now to see which sentences are worded awkwardly: but, could you also advise on what's going on? Thanks so much.

Re: About those commas....

Something that is quite helpful is the Purdue Writing Lab. It explains everything there is to need to know about grammar. You can find it at www.owl.english.purdue.edu I hope this helps.

P.S. This is what I use when I tutor my students.

Re: Need help ... Low in Confidence

Wow! Things are really different here. If selling oneself is against the TOS, I will discontinue immediately. I'd like to know that also for the sake of following rules. And by the way, thanks to everyone who has helped out. I appreciate all of you.

Re: Please review

Just be tactful and let support know about it. If it was a mistake, I'm sure there will be no problem resolving the issue. Things happen sometimes, especially when people are very overworked. I know it can be frustrating, especially if it is a first time you've experienced a rejection, but just try ...

Re: Constructive Criticism Thread

Thanks so much, Ed. for starting this thread. I wish I would have found it before I posted my question in the rejection forum. Now that i know that i cannot post the entire article, as it will no longer be original if I had, I'm going to look through it again. Then, I'll submit and pray to God it is...
