Constant Content

I was recently reviewing the author guidelines and I am confused about this:

[quote] "Promotional articles, articles with promotional language, or articles that contain author contact information will not be considered." [/quote]

I have just finished editing what I hope will be my first submission. The article recommends teaching children a specific skill. The final section of the article guides parents on how to get started. In that section I have named a specific corporation and a free service they provide. Is that considered promotional?

I would not have named the corporation, but their free learning tools are so much better than any others I have found, I felt the need to direct parents to them. I have personal experience with the frustration of finding useful learning tools for this particular age group. My intention is not to promote the company, but to enable parents.

Do I need to remove the corporation's name from my article?

You're fine as long as you don't link to them.

Thanks,
Ed

To clarify - we're more concerned about people who write an article with the intention of promoting their product, service, or website.

Thanks for the clarification!

And thank you also for your quick response to my questions.
