What To Do if You Receive an Editor Request

Tips on Getting Your Hubs Selected

We announced the Editor Request feature back in August, and some of you have already received emails from HubPages Editors requesting changes in order to move articles to Network Sites. We know there has been some confusion around this feature, and we want to make sure everyone has as good an experience as possible. To that end, here are a few answers to common questions about this feature:

Why did I get this email instead of the Editor just fixing my article?

The Editor Request feature is intended for articles with minor issues that Editors think the author can easily fix him/herself. We have created this feature in order to help us get as many of your articles moved to Sites as quickly as possible.

Are the request emails generic?

Yes and no. Editors have a list of potential issues, and they select and include only the items that apply to your particular article in the email. So, if the Editor includes a product warning, a link warning, and a photo warning, it means s/he needs you to fix those three things before the article can be accepted. You are welcome and encouraged to improve your article in other ways too, but if you do not fix the specific points addressed by the Editor, your article is very unlikely to be accepted. The Editor may also include personalized feedback in your email if s/he feels it is necessary.

Do I have to make the changes suggested by my Editor?

If you want your article to be moved to a Network Site, you will need to address the issues your Editor has pointed out. However, there are no negative consequences should you wish to leave your article as-is and keep it on HubPages.com. Simply disregard your Editor's email and do nothing if this is your preference.

How many times can I resubmit my article after changes have been requested? 

You will only be able to submit once after having changes requested by an Editor without using up your one submission per 60 days. We recommend reading your email carefully and fixing all the points touched on your Editor before submitting to have the best chance at acceptance.
