We are generally looking for authors who have their own ideas on topics they want to write about, who can propose topics and follow through quickly.

Please note that, as a general rule, we are not looking for current news or trendy content as there are plenty of other outlets for such content on the net. We're more interested in in-depth guides and how-to articles that cover an important aspect of writing novels.
