Content Guidelines:

  • Originality: All your very own original work
  • Niche: Focus on a specific subject and stick to it!
  • Shameless self promotion: If you are writing about a new product service, focus on the topic not the product.
  • Plagiarism: Not permitted, funnily enough. Please cite your sources correctly.
  • Length: Keep your submission to a maximum of 800
  • Imagery: Feel free to include an image, if it is RM or is a picture of a person please ensure you have the relevant permissions.  Please also provide proper attribution to creator of the image. Required size: 438×332 (we will crop if it doesn’t fit) Use this article to help source photos – http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/web/12-best-places-to-get-free-images-for-your-site-624818
