Addressing Author Edit Requests
Sometimes, when members of the HubPages editing team get an article that has the potential to be a great fit for a network site but needs some editing or certain issues fixed, they will send an author edit request. These are important to address if you wish to have your pieces featured.
Why are they sent?
Oftentimes, the editorial team will send an edit request when the changes needed are not feasible for the editors themselves to do. If you are writing about a trip you recently took and there are no photos you personally captured, an edit request might be sent asking to add some in.
Product capsules that do not have any personal endorsement might be another reason. If authors describe their reasons for liking a product, it will look much better to search engines and readers than if there is no accompanying text or something more generic from an editor.
Updates are another major reason edit requests might be sent. Statistics, hours of operation, and regulations around any number of topics change frequently. Many times, it's easier and more time-efficient for the author who did the research and sourcing in the first place to make the updates than the editors.
More Tips
If you get an edit request from the HubPages team, take a close look at the personal note and the bulleted points indicating necessary changes. If you are still confused about why your piece needs more work, check out other articles on the network site and
HubPages Help to see how you can improve the piece.
Once you have made the edits, you can resubmit the piece to the network site and leave a note detailing what you changed for the editor!
