Due to the changes in my career and requests for tours and guest posts, here are the guidelines for the aforementioned items so that they stick to my brand as a writer/blogger and myself as a reader.

**Please edit your posts before submitting! I am a full time writer and a blogger, so I don’t have time to edit your posts. If posts are unedited they are subject to rejection or will be posted as is. I will not be responsible for unedited posts.

**When sending in HTML code for posts, please be sure to eliminate all the spaces between characters. I have received a couple guest posts where I had to eliminate these spaces before I could read the post for approval or format it. I won’t be doing that anymore and posts will be rejected.

**Please format your post the way you want it to appear. All guest posts will be posted “as received”. I don’t have time to format or guess how your post is supposed to look. Formatting your post ahead of time in word or HTML will do the job.

**Editorial Policy: Any guest posts will be reviewed to make certain that it is a match to the branding of the blog. I am also reviewing for writing quality, and I will be checking for correct grammar and punctuation and readability. If the post doesn’t meet basic rules for basic writing skills, then I will reject the post.
