Re: Need help about my article!

Right off, I'd see if you can find a way to re-write it without so many commas. I'm not sure if they're grammatically incorrect, but it is somewhat cumbersome. The last sentence, "such that" should be "so that" or just "so" without the "that." Such is incorrec...

Re: New here

Welcome! Be patient if your articles don't sell immediately. They will, and when they do it feels GREAT knowing you were paid for your time!

Re: Freaking Out a Bit About the Rejection Process

Both of your errors were formatting, not actual writing issues. Editors understand it can take time for newbies to get a hang of that sort of thing. If you've already had articles sold or accepted, I'd say you're doing just fine. Learn from your mistakes, for sure. But since you don't have problems ...

Re: First Rejection - now what?

I did the same thing Kim! My first article was accepted right away, so I sent in another one that was rejected immediately! It kind of shook me up! So I waited (a few months, actually) to correct it and re-submit. My second article got approved over-night and it sold within 16 minutes! So obviously,...

Re: Constant Content Article Pricing Strategy

Plus, all the editing they do and the support is amazing. The exposure is awesome, and I don't have to spend hours querying and looking up submission processes and guidelines for every piece I write, then spending money on postage. Just figure what you want to make from your work, then add 35% to co...

"All we need from you are the following specifics about the recipient: age, ..."

That way is actually tighter and a bit more cohesive.

Re: February 2011 Learn a New Trick Writing Challenge

I like this!! I'm going to have to do some thinking and come up with something good. I've been contemplating a way to work HARO into something I want to write. I'll have to look into my ideas list and see where it's useful.
