Title Problem

[geniuswaitress]

I noticed a glaring error in a title that I can't believe got past myself and the editor! I searched the forums and found that I have to delete the article and resubmit it.

However, this article has sold (for usage). Will I be able to delete it and resubmit it, or will that have any weird effects with deleted content?

Just contact support, they can make minor edits....

You are not the first person to make a mistake in a title... nor have it sell before you get a chance to fix it LOL It happened to me once too.

You can let me know what the problem is and I can fix it.

Cool. I just discovered that I no longer have a "delete" option on the article. Is this the norm for sold articles?

The error is in the title: "New County Fair Game Doesn't Fair Well." (Writer name Elizabeth Kelly)

It should, of course, be "fare" in the second instance. And now I exit in shame.

Thank you!

Yeah, authors can't delete articles that have been sold.

Did you have the chance to look over that article on intros one more time? I know you're currently trepidatious about the workings of the site, but I enjoyed this piece and have been looking for its return in the queue.

Thanks for fixing that so quickly. Things like that keep me awake at night! It could even be an entry under a "You know you're a writer if..." list.

And thanks for the nice words about the intro piece. I was actually disappointed that one I wrote specifically for the site was rejected for style issues. I had been thinking about doing something else with it, but I can still resubmit it here. I'll look it over. I don't want it to be rejected twice!

I thought it had been a bomb. :-)
