Submission Guidelines:
We
embrace varied techniques and believe everyone has something unique
to share. Whenever you have a post you'd like to share, use our easy
submission template
after reading the guidelines below.
Posts must adhere to the entirety of these submission guidelines. No exceptions.
Content must be 100% created by you.
By providing us with your content, you are granting Write W.A.V.E. Media permission to display it on the site/s indicated. You are also agreeing that you are the owner and creator of said content and have the proper rights/license to grant us the right to display said content.
This right you grant us to display said content does not transfer ownership to us, but does grant us a display license to place said content on one or more sites in our network, as permitted by you, the owner of said content by going through with the submission process. You still remain the copyright holder and deem the right to display your content wherever you deem applicable. We may, at times, display your content on other properties involved with Write W.A.V.E. Media. However, we will not sell, distribute, or license your content to third parties. The display rights you grant us extend only to our own venue and network of sites, which can be found on the page entitled Our Sites.
We are in the process of converting all of our properties to follow the Yahoo! Style Guide. The ability to implement the Yahoo! Style Guide into your unique writing style is strongly preferred. We do edit submissions. However, writers who can produce ready-to-publish material will gain the highest preference. If you are used to AP style, this handy comparison chart can point out some of the more notable differences between the two.
Note that we may or may not publish your submitted content and we may remove it at any time after publication at our sole discretion. We strictly adhere to copyright laws, including (but not limited to) the DMCA and will not tolerate copyright violations or plagiarism. All content is scanned for these violations and we will act as necessary if anything questionable is detected.
Uploading Content:
Go to submissions and follow the instructions.
Byline Tips
The byline should include your name and designation. Your name should link back to where readers can find more of your work - such as your Yahoo! Contributor Network profile or your own website. Do not use designations which you are not authorized to use or that do not rightfully apply to you.

Word Count and Other Post Details
Posts should be at least 200 words and can be a unique post by you, a blurb of an existing piece with a link back to the full piece, or something of your own that is previously published but you still have rights to. We might at times correct minor typos and grammatical errors. But we like the voice of the author to shine through. So we try not to edit very much, if we can help it. However, as noted above, please do your best to adhere to the Yahoo! Style Guide.
Also, be sure to include (with each post you send) a 3-5 sentence blurb at the end of each post to tell readers who you are and what you do. If desired, you may also include a photo of yourself. In most cases, we prefer to be the original source of any photos that get placed with content.

Earning Ad Revenue
If you have an account with Amazon Affiliates, include (with each post you send) the code for a banner or widget, so that you may earn some ad revenue on your posts with us. We accept any size banner, except the large leaderboard. Your submission will be worked around the banner for optimal display results. Visit the blog and article pages at Our Sites to help you decide which size may be right. We can make no claims as to the potential earnings, as they are managed by an outside party. However, since most posts will not be compensated in other ways, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.
Further Compensation
Most posts will be eligible for ad revenue compensation, which is only available to those who provide the proper ad code. Ad revenue is managed by an outside party and is the sole responsibility of each individual writer. Due to this revenue being managed by an outside party, we can make no claims as to the potential earnings. However, from time to time, we do have freelance opportunities to become a contributing writer. Those opportunities are very limited and will be posted on the Write W.A.V.E. Media Gigs page when they are available.
Hyperlinks
We welcome and encourage hyperlinks to your other work, as long as there is value to the post and links are sensibly placed. Spam will not be tolerated. For instance, a how-to piece (or partial post to lead into one) is fine. Linking to related material is also acceptable. But just talking about how great your website is will not be of value to readers and will not be published. You are limited to three links per post, one link per byline, and three links per author blurb.
