Austism.com: Summary and Critique

Post by CreativeWorks54 »

My article, Autism.com: A summary and Critique was rejected. Can you help me understand what I did incorrectly? This is my first shot at submitting, so I have a feeling there's much to learn.

I can't speak to the rejection, but if you are a new writer, I wouldn't recommend writing to the older requests unless you send a QA to the poster first asking if the needs has been filled. One of the haphazards of this site for new writers, is customers are a bit lazy at taking down requests as they are filled.

However, there are requests out there that have not been filled, so your best bet is always ask. :)

Good Sense

Thank you for the good advice. But if anyone knows about the specific rejection of Autism.com: A Summary and Critique, my rejection notice mentioned that the long summary was incorrectly formatted. But, I thought I adhered to the guidelines. If I can get input so I don't repeat the same errors, that would be great.

Our Guidelines state:
Write for internet format, which consists of single-spaced paragraphs without indentation and double spaces between paragraphs. Single space means no spaces between lines (i.e., you have pressed the enter key once). Double space refers to the act of pressing the enter key twice and indicates a single line of space between lines of text.

Please space between paragraphs for readability.

Thanks,
Ed

Thank you. I did not double space between paragraphs. Can I resubmit?
