Editor response to my questions about using the company's article submission template for the first time: "It is no doubt a learning process to get used to our requirements. However, we need very adaptable writers who will not get frustrated by our system.

However, we need very adaptable writers who will not get frustrated by our system. While I appreciate your desire to turn in a perfect assignment, it's concerning that you are spending so much time worrying about small details that are easily answered in our Writer's Guide. We will pay you for this assignment, but unfortunately we will not be able to offer you any more work going forward." So, I'm not adaptable despite the fact that I'm familiar with probably up to 15 companies' templates and successfully use 5 to 7 of them daily. The "Writer's Guide" this individual refers to is actually information spread across two -- or three -- online manuals. It is (almost) amusing that this new content company seems to feel that they've invented the wheel. Show more Show less
