Guidelines for Entries
A few guidelines to help those contributions stay within the realms of the area will make both your writing experience and our publishing tasks a lot easier.
Spamming of any nature is not permitted as we are seeking informative stories which other readers could realistic gain from or obtain some measure of entertainment from. Submission and publication are not automated processes and therefore sending spam disguised as readable material will never make it to our pages.
Regurgitation of technical facts is not required nor encouraged. We would much more prefer a personal account of an experience which describes what actually happened during a company formation as opposed to what should have occurred.
Linking within an article is perfectly permissible should you wish to make specific references to third party sites or perhaps your own. Please keeping linking to one per paragraph and ensure that the source is decent and suitable for our viewers.
Complete Formations is hoping that Notice Board will be something new and different and we would encourage imaginative writing and creativity of subject matter. Whilst bearing this in mind, we would also state that there are certainly no qualifications, literary prizes or awards that contributors have to have earned in order to submit an article for publication.
To make a contribution to Notice Board please use the contact us page where you can either write the full text of your article or enclose it as an email attachment.
