submitting an article on behalf of someone, we prefer that you create an
account for that person using their name and email address rather than
creating a PenName under your account. We need this information so that
we may communicate directly with the actual author should we have any
questions for them. It's not mandatory but we request that you fill out
your profile page completely including uploading a picture if possible.
Our experience is that website visitors tend to want to acquaint
themselves with you, and your profile page is an excellent place in which
to promote yourself further. Here is an
example of
what an ideal profile should look like. |
