Thanks a lot for all the wonderful feedback for 'Creative Reporter'. We realized we should be more specific and what we expect to be a successful contribution (although this may vary from site to site).
Here are some general guidelines to increase chances to get published:

• Please submit links, pointers but much better complete and unique stories between 250 and 500 words
• Adjust to the focus of the site and topic
• Submit complete podcasts and video but please include a summary
• Remember, Creative Reporter is open to submissions for all the blogs in the network. So once you sign up you will be able to spread your ideas.

Thanks in advance!
