Thank you. i've never received payment from you and did not know this. You know, I have seen articles with all capital letters (which your guidelines insists are not allowed) accepted. I have read material on this site which I've read elsewhere - vertabim. I've never pointed them out and have tried ...

Since you will not consider any more of my submissions, then so be it. I've explained to you how I came about writing this piece. i've been honest and my conscience is clear. But, what will you do with the money collected for articles that have been sold? Will you keep this? It may not be much compa...

Hi Ed, I understand the guidelines. Believe me, I've been trying very hard to follow them since I joined - I've read them, re-read them and really tried. Your answer is exactly what was sent to me in the email but does not answer my question. I've explained to you the process of how I came about to ...

Hi, I am very sad. I worked on an article about what to wear to parties. It was titled 'Dressing Up'. During the holidays, I received an invitation to a party and did not know what to wear. Just last week, I received an invitation to a launch of a book and it said 'smart casual'. I thought it would ...

Jak,

This is similar to what happened to me. The only difference is that i copied from another article I'd written, not another website! Thank you for sharing this - it gives me comfort that I'm not the only one who did this!

Ed, Barry and Celeste, I owe all of you an apology! I'm so sorry. Despite all the explanations given by all of you, I was suspicious as I cannot imagine that Ed would give the wrong reason. Instinct told me something had to be wrong at my end ... I just didn't know what it was. After putting the art...

Celeste,

Thank you very much for this information. I really appreciate it.

One last question: it has been suggested that a web address may be embedded in the document somewhere. Is there any other way (besides reading the text closely - which I have done several times now) for this?

Hi Celeste,

Thank you for your message. I think I will look at this article again and see what I can do about it.

With much thanks.
Aneeta

ok. thanks. I'll try that.

Barry, Thank you for your replies. I shall try to figure out what went wrong. Nevertheless, while it all makes sense, I am still baffled by the original reason given for rejecting article. While I will try to see if I can re-work the piece and not use bullets, I'm really disheartened. I did not use ...

HI Barry, Thanks for the reply. Here are my asnwers to your questions. Bullets: I am pretty sure that I followed the spacing rule when using bullets; however, I wonder if I still made a mistake and don't recognise it. Sources: The following is how I presented the book I quoted from. Please note, in ...

Hi, I have been reading the submission guidelines and also other posts in this thread. I read one by someone who has the name 'trilob' and I see that one of the things discussed is the formatting in the long summary. It has many sub-paragaphs and I used a lot of bullet points. I wonder if this could...

Hi Barry, No. I've got a copy of the article (a Word doc. file). I typed 'www' in Find and there isn't one at all. I've read the article one more time since typing this post and can't find any reference whatsoever to a website. The article makes reference to titles of books - 'Pride and Prejudice' a...

Hi, I submitted an article entitled, 'Writing Good Reviews'. I was very careful to follow the submission guildelines. I received notification that the article was rejected. However, what baffles me is the reason given, which is this: We do not accept content with website addresses/links. http://www....
