Editorial notes to make the most of your articles:

1. All pitches other than the ideas listed above must be sent in using our pitch form. You can find it here.
2. Stick to the headline so that we can easily identify the post as a Hot Topic. If the title has too many characters for you to save, just add as much as you can and we'll take care of it as soon as we receive the completed article from you via email (see below).
3. Your article must be a minimum of 500 words.
4. When you publish your article, write HOT TOPICS in the "notes to the editor" section and publish as you normally do.

If your Hot Topic is chosen to be edited and promoted by the editorial team, you will be notified with suggestions to share it far and wide so everyone can find it/read it. Edits are limited to content, typos, SEO help, image changes, and clarity.

If your article requires major edits, or if multiple Experts select the same Hot Topic, we may not promote yours due to time constraints.

Don't worry, though!

If we receive multiple amazing submissions, we will do our best to publish both. In these instances, the first submission received will be edited with the original Hot Topics headline, and the additional submissions will be held slightly and given a modified headline in order to avoid publishing two articles that would essentially compete with each other.
