After receiving some comments on my threads, I would like to share additional information about websites that "get paid to write" and things to keep in mind or do to get your article accepted and published; however, doing so would only make my thread longer. Even if the link does not appear to work on this website, I will try to include an anchor that will allow you to navigate the website.
