Here are some things to consider:

• Any writing you submit must be completely your own. That means no plagiarizing articles in their entirety or partially. Sparingly quoting previously published material or comments is okay as long as you give everything the proper attribution.
• You will not get paid for writing an essay, no matter how long or good it is, or how much work you put into it. This site is completely nonprofit, and no money changes hands.
• If your essay is approved to be published on the site, the text will be edited for spelling, grammar and punctuation. Please do not type essays in all caps or all lowercase.
• I'll accept essays on a variety of subjects as long as they're related to music, but this is not a forum for self-promotion or promotion of any specific artist, company, website, etc.
• You may, however, include a tagline at the end of your essay that briefly tells who you are, and you may include one web link in that tagline, such as your own website or your band's website. (Example: Patrick Domostroy is a music enthusiast living in New York City)
• I make no guarantees that every proposed essay will be accepted; therefore, I suggest you tell me about your idea before you actually write the essay.
