Sigh. Ok.

I just got a rejection because I provided links to information that I referenced. I'm sure this has been discussed here before but the search engine here is a little unwieldy so I hope no one minds if I bring this up again. (Here's hoping I can find this thread when I come back here later! :-) I thi...

Like many today, I'm in pretty desperate financial shape. Figured since the corporate world apparently doesn't want me, I will live the dream of becoming a freelance writer. I must pause and give CC some credit here: A week after I submitted my very first article, it sold. I must have walked on clou...

That's entirely possible, Celeste. I'm going to take another look and see what can be done. Thanks!

Hi - I fear I've misrepresented myself. :) I don't spend that much time here in the forums but I'm not new to article writing and actually, I usually do have someone else look at some of my articles before I submit them. I agree with you for the most part; I have found the editors here to be very fa...

I just got a rejection notice stating, "connect the dots for the reader". I don't agree with this. The subject is online dating safety. Anyone over the age of 10 knows WHY you need to be safe online, but I included several tips as requested. My submission was over the requested word count ...

Thanks, guys -- didn't even think of that. And thanks for contacting Support. Am curious as to what the outcome will be.

Hi there - I just took a look at my 'sold' articles list and I have three sold. But when I use the sort feature, it only brings up 2 of them, one that was recently sold and one that was sold a few months ago. The third one is missing. It's not like I have tons of articles :D , but I'd like the list ...

Glad to see this too. I recently quit working freelance for a media consultant because she was only paying around $5 per 400+ word article and she wanted it turned around in two days. I am slightly appalled that people still expect to get a quality piece for such a low sum. One of the things I most ...

Who said I wasn't taking it seriously?

Best to you!

Hope my luck holds out!

You're singing my song, ecdoran. I had pretty steady work with a temp agency for awhile last year but even that dried up many months ago. I don't have a degree so I'm not qualified for X; I've been an executive/admin assistant for some 30 years, so I'm underqualified for X; I have too much experienc...

Heady, indeed! Let's hope this isn't just beginners' luck!

Ecdoran - I'm unemployed as well and have been for some time. It's scary out here, isn't it? But at least I've found something to keep me out of trouble. Besides being broke all the damned time, being idle is seriously the worst thing about not having a job. :cry: Thanks for the support, you guys!

Is this where I come to uncork the champagne? I just found out about this site yesterday and submitted an article. It got rejected twice due to some glitchy error and I was going to give up but decided to take the plunge one more time. I'm not a writer by profession but I've always wondered if I cou...
