Most common reasons why author applications get rejected

Back to bestmanagementarticles.com

A lot of authors get rejected by editors at bestmanagementarticles.com for the following reasons:

1. There is insufficient information in the author biography box to give us a glimpse of the author's background. This is the most common reason for rejection, especially for the numerous applicants coming from India.

Putting such simplistic statements in the biography box as "I'm a professional writer", "I have an MBA", "I'm a friendly guy" and such will simply waste your time and ours. You won't get approved.

We are selective in our choice of authors--you need to give us your track record, your credentials, to prove to us that you are deserving to be published.

2. The biography box contains a description of the company, instead of the author. Please take note, the biography box in the application process is not the same as the author resource box in the article page. The biography box should describe the author, not the company. Check out this sample biography.

On the other hand, the author resource box at the end of each article is where you are allowed to advertise your product or website.

3. The name as appearing in the personal information is not the same as the name appearing in the biography box.

4. The address of the applicant is incomplete.

5. The content of the biography box is so awkwardly written or with a lot of grammatical errors. This makes us conclude that you are not a good writer. If you can't even write a good autobiography, why should we think that you can write a good article?

6. The location of the IP address of the applicant is different from his/her stated location. (Many times we have encountered applicants who stated that they are from the USA but their IP addresses are from India, Malaysia, China and elsewhere! Yes, we do go to this extent of background checking to ensure the prestige of our article directory.)
