Glad to have you aboard!

If you can do the things listed below, your subsequent submissions will go *much* more smoothly, saving us both time and avoiding frustration. Is

1. Avoid the use of AI for text! It is ok ***for images only*** if the caption so states. I recently automated the use of a tool to check for AI-generated text, because I was getting a lot of such submissions.

2. Follow Brain Labs.

3. Re-read the Submission Guidelines *carefully* before submitting. Seriously. Please do this. It will save us both soooo much time. Pay special attention to the length requirement.

4. Proofread your article *thoroughly* before submitting it. Strongly suggest you use Grammarly or Hemingway.

5. Read at least three BL articles. You will learn how to target your content for us by getting a personal experience of the content we publish (and by extrapolation, what we don't publish.) I know you're busy! It will be worth it.

6. This is a boosted pub, but please don't request boosts. One of our editors is a nominator and will nominate articles they consider boostworthy.

We don't have to agree with your points, but may push you to bolster the credibility of your arguments.

We do have high standards and don't accept every submission.

Thanks for joining Brain Labs!
