There are many ways to submit articles online, which are basically divided into: submissions to public accounts, submissions to self-media channels such as Baijiahao, and submissions to physical newspapers and periodicals. The specific introduction is as follows:
1. Public account submission?
You can go directly to the WeChat page and search for "Contribution Letter". Here you can see many ways to submit articles to public accounts. Each type of article will be required to be written in the corresponding In the invitation letter, you can start writing based on what you are good at. Submissions also need to be reviewed. Generally, the review time for public accounts is about 3 days. During this period, do not submit multiple manuscripts.
2. Submitting to Baijiahao?
Compared with submitting to public accounts, submitting to Baijiahao is even simpler. Basically, as long as the articles you write are smooth and the content is healthy, you will be fine. After being reviewed and approved, you can basically find it by opening QQ and searching for keyword writers or writing groups. By joining the group chat, you will have the identity of a writer, and the types of articles you write are similar to the article headlines we usually see, with a slight twist. Think about it and then write. ?
3. Call for papers for newspapers and periodicals?
The call for articles for newspapers and periodicals is relatively more challenging, and the requirements for articles are much stricter, but the fee will be higher than the other two. You can pay more attention to local media, or global hot news, or poetry or photography, etc.
Tips for online submission:
Contributions to WeChat official accounts are in most cases sent via email as a Word attachment. Whether the typesetting of Word is standardized determines to a certain extent whether the editor has the patience to read the text content. ?
1. Notes on titles
The title does not need to be centered, but the font must be more conspicuous than the main text. In addition, it is best to prepare one or two more titles as alternatives. ?
2. Text formatting method
The formatting method of new media articles is very different from that of paper media. There should be no two blank spaces at the beginning of a paragraph, and a blank line between each two paragraphs. ?
3. Paragraphs should not be too long
In the era of light reading, readers do not have much patience. Paragraphs that are too long will put visual pressure on readers, so it is recommended to divide them into paragraphs appropriately. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to control the number of words in each paragraph within 200 words. ?
4. Bold golden sentences
Concise sentences in the article can be bolded so that the editor can notice them at a glance. Of course, don’t use too many bold text, just two or three sentences. ?
5. Information at the end of the article
Many official accounts can include a brief introduction of the author at the end of the article when tweeting, and some can even include the author's WeChat official account. Therefore, when submitting an article, the author should attach his introduction and contact information at the end of the article.
Even if the platform does not display the author’s profile when tweeting, at the very least, contact information must be left. If the article is accepted, the editor will contact the author and issue the manuscript fee.
