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.

Full Disclosure: We’re picky. We do have high standards and don't accept every submission.

Thanks for joining Brain Labs!
