They said I didn't use arial 12pt...but I swear I did. They said that there were punctuation and spelling errors, but I checked it about 5 times for these.

They said I didn't leave a space between paragraphs, or enough lines...but I left 2 spaces?? They said not to use first person POV, but I don't think I did anywhere? I guess they're the editors.

I know they have hundreds to review...and I'm just another one...and they are a proffessional company, so I'm doing my best to not take it personally or be too gutted, it's only my first article, so there were bound to be some mistakes. I haven't really written anything professionally before, so I'm sure I am rusty...I just want to see the submission myself.

Hopefully they'll let me have a look at it , post-review...

Dude, improve your writing. Just look at this post of yours. It is no wonder your articles are getting rejected.

Yeah, write like this guy and you'll be moving articles off the shelves faster than Billy the Kid on a quickdraw.

That's funny. When your midlife crisis comes, consider switching to a career in comedy.

Please stick to the topic at hand and post meaningful comments.

I have another question about Constant Content. I'm a bit confused about rejections. Do they send it back for a rewrite or just reject it outright? And if they tell you the reason for the rejection and it's something silly, like spacing, don't they let you fix the problem and resubmit it?

Like I said, I've got some stuff sitting around here that I should do something with, so I uploaded an article to CC yesterday. Waiting to hear back before I submit something else. Another website somebody suggested is ghostbloggers, which works with a similar content-providing method.

They do send articles back for rewrites, but they are pretty nazi about errors and if you waste too much of their precious time they'll reject it outright.

Andrew, I read your blog entry about your experience with CC and was really surprised that editors were disputing your choice of subjects. What the heck do they care whether you're selling articles on veganism or if someone expresses a New Age point of view?

What the heck do Nazis care if the Jews are going into banking or law?? Same thing. Kinda.

You're clearly unaware of the new, more enlightened Fourth Reich.

Kill the Jews!-But only the bad ones

They have fantastic government care packages for the survivors, and free college as long as you want to do something aside from banking or law. As fascism goes it's really not bad.
