Hi Writers,

Please format your articles and long summaries in the style outlined in our guidelines. This style is web-friendly, customer-friendly, and Ed-itor-friendly. Double-spaced paragraphs, enlarged font, unreadable font, no spaces between paragraphs, and lack of care in formatting at all make reading difficult. Please do your part to make the review process as efficient as possible by being professional when you format your articles. If I can't read your article, or have difficulty determining where one paragraph ends and another begins, your article will be rejected.

Our guidelines specify:
Write in size 12-point black font. Bold and italic font may be used only for emphasis or to offset your subheadings.

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.

Properly capitalize your titles with the first letter of each word in uppercase, except for articles and short prepositions. Example: How To Care for a New Puppy or Puppy Care: Feeding and Grooming


Thanks,
Ed
