Constant Content

Is it possible to submit a photo for usage rights only? I am using this particular photo to illustrate an article that is online at a different site. I just wanted to offer it for usage only, but the form required me to give a price for full rights.

I got a message in my email that one of my articles had sold. Then today I noticed that it was not under "my recently sold content." Did the buyer decide that it was not what they wanted? Can they "return" articles?

Thank you!

I have searched and searched, but can't find an answer to this question: I know that the age in the following sentence should be hyphenated the following way: "A 10-year-old girl went to the park." But, what about when the noun that 10-year-old modifies is understood? "A 10-year-old w...

My word processor is wanting to close the gap, so getting the formatting to turn out right and then save to a .tx...

I had to laugh out loud when I found this interesting word substitution in my article-- probably the result of being asleep at the spell check switch: In an article about toddlers at play: "They build confidence in their own ability to do useful chores around the house, and feel good about inti...

Thank you for your generous reply!

Would anyone like a proofreading pen pal? I will proof yours if you'll proof mine. I brought up the idea of a proofreading forum earlier, but it was pointed out that the content on forums is indexed by search engines. I would be willing to exchange articles by email. I know that I see mistakes in ot...

I revised the article and re-uploaded it. Thanks for the advice.

Ed- should I revise my submitted manuscripts before you reject them? I used "he" throughout.

Should I choose my keywords and then write the article? Or should I write an article and then choose the keyword based one what I wrote? How many keywords should I include in the submission form (in the box that says keywords)? Should I place a comma between keywords?
