Public request confusion. Please help

Post by postit »

Hi all. I wrote an article for a public request. The expiration date on the request was 10/12 which is today. But when I went to submit the article and pulled down all the public requests, the one I wrote for was no longer listed. I have no idea what that means. Does it mean the client pulled the request? Does it mean to meet the expiration date I should have submitted yesterday? So confused here...

I'd guess it should have been submitted yesterday. You can submit it with a note saying you intended it for that public request, and perhaps CC will go ahead and tag it for submission to that buyer.

Thanks--I guess I can try that. I wonder if anyone else can give me a definitive answer about the expiration date of public requests? Do you need to file the article the day BEFORE the expiration date for the article to be considered? I understand filing earlier is probably always preferable but I am still confused on this point.

How do I add a note to the editors when submitting--I don't see a place to do that. Having trouble today...

Submit it, then click 'My Content' and 'edit'.... when you see the resubmit form, add your comment at the bottom and click. You won't need to re-upload.
