HOW IT WORKS

1.  Choose a Topic
Want to write about your favorite chess set?  Review a chess product?  Offer guidance on how to choose a chess set? Have a few tactics up your sleeve you wouldn’t mind sharing?  Tips for beginners?  Share your knowledge!  Check in the comments below to see if your article idea hasn’t already been taken.

2.  Submit Your Idea for Approval
Submit your idea by leaving a comment below. Your idea submission should include your name and email address along with your article’s topic, a brief outline, and expected word count.  Don’t worry, your comment will not be posted – Using the comments to contact the blog editor is simply the easiest way to go.  We will let you know as soon as possible if your topic is approved. A topic may be declined if it has already been covered recently, or if it is irrelevant or inappropriate.

3.  Write Your Article!
Be sure to wait until you’ve received approval, so you’re not wasting your time!  The blog editor will email you (using the email you provided in your comment) to let you know.  Now write!  Make it informational, entertaining or both! Edit it well – authors who submit poorly written articles may not be asked to author again.

4.  Submit Your Finished Article
You’ll be given more instructions on how to submit the final article when your idea is approved.

5.  Your Article Will be Edited and Posted
Articles requiring too much editing will be sent back to the author for re-writing. We reserve the right to edit your submission in any way. Your style is important, and we will try hard to preserve that style. However, we may edit for grammar, clarity, organization, appropriateness, or liveliness – and we reserve the right to decide what entails the definition of each of those points. You will be notified once the article has been edited and accepted. The timeline for posting articles is entirely at our discretion.  Blog authors can choose whether or not their name appears as the author of their article.

6.  Collect Your Store Credit and Spend!
You will receive $.07 store credit per word. ($17.50 cash for 250 words, $35 cash for 500 words, etc). Payment will be received after the article has been posted. It is important to note that unnecessary words/fluff, run-on sentences, and wordy paragraphs will be edited and removed from the article, and payment adjusted.
