Things Not to Do If You Want to Get Published Here
-Sign off on your email with “enjoy!”
-Spell “The Tangential” wrong
-Write something we’ve already written
-Send in something longer than 700 words
-Add a long bio for our Writers page. A cute byline is good, but play a little hard to get.
-Send something that was clearly rejected from Thought Catalog
-Tell us not to “steal” your piece
-Send in what is basically a rant. Only editors get to use the soapbox.
-Ask that the article be labeled “anonymous” because you swore in it. You have to forfeit dignity completely and/or put yourself at risk of getting fired/arrested to merit that label.
