Who We Need

Article Rules
Length: As long as needed to adequately cover your topic. We’re thinking 400 words … and up.
Originality: Your article should not duplicate content already posted on the Web. By this we mean that it should not duplicate the particular arrangement of words used in existing articles, even if those articles are yours. Feel free to rewrite articles you have previously published, retaining the factual matter but rewording to make it “new.” If your article is based on research using other people’s material, please avoid a copy-and-paste job. No copyright violations, please!
Other: There is no “other.” Those are all the rules, such as they are.
Now please send us your article idea. Chances are we’ll give you the go-ahead to write and submit it. You will also have our gratitude (and that author’s bio box and link, as noted above).
