๐ Overview
Some customers are surprised to see a $10 editorial review fee when they submit a blog post. This article explains what the fee is for, why it is charged per submission, and how to get the most value from each review.
โ What Is the Editorial Review Fee?
The editorial review fee is a one-time charge for each blog post you submit for review. It is not a subscription, and it is separate from your regular plan. It is charged once per submission, so a single post sent for review costs $10.
๐งโ๐ป Why Is There a Fee?
Editorial review involves a real person checking your content, which takes time and effort. The fee helps cover that work. A review generally looks at:
- Quality: Is the writing clear, accurate, and useful to readers?
- Guidelines: Does the post meet the publishing standards that apply to it?
- Readiness: Is the post in good shape to be published?
Because each post needs its own check, the fee is applied per submission and not as a flat charge for several posts.
๐ณ How the Charge Works
- The fee applies each time you submit a post for editorial review.
- Ten posts submitted means ten separate reviews.
- The charge is tied to the submission, not to the length or topic of the post.
Please check the confirmation shown at the time of submission for the exact amount charged on your account.
๐ ๏ธ How to Get the Most From Each Review
A little preparation can help your post pass smoothly and avoid extra submissions.
- Proofread first. Fix spelling, grammar, and formatting before you submit.
- Check your facts. Make sure statistics, names, and claims are accurate.
- Review the guidelines. Confirm your post follows the publishing requirements.
- Finalize before submitting. Make your edits first so you do not need to resubmit.
- Check your links and formatting. Headings, links, and images should be in place.
๐ What If My Post Needs Changes?
If a review finds issues, you can update your post based on the feedback. Whether a revised post counts as a new submission may depend on your situation. If you are unsure whether a resubmission will be charged, ask our team before you submit it again.
