What you need to know:

  • Submitting an article more than once does not increase the chances of getting published.
  • A good article, I can assure you, sells itself. It needs no pushing. Calling the editor unnecessarily can only be irritating.

Last Friday, Daily Nation Opinion Editor Mwiti Marete brought out into the open what happens in the opinion pages.

In particular, he spelt out the criteria used to select what to publish, the reasons for rejecting some and the rules of submitting articles. He continues the demystification of the op-eds.
