Can I expedite or rush my order?
No. We do not offer rush or next-day publishing, because every article is reviewed by our team and by the outlets before it goes live.
Tip: the fastest option is to upload a story that already follows our writing guide, so no revisions are needed.
Can I choose the publish date?
Yes. You can request a preferred publish date on the order form and we will do our best to match it. Revisions and changes to your story can delay publishing, so submit the final version early if the date matters.
What causes delays
Revision requests, and the time taken to review each revision.
An uploaded story that does not meet our writing guidelines and needs changes.
A topic that is not accepted by the chosen package, so the package needs to be changed.
An outlet asking for changes before it will publish the story.
Additional time negotiating with news outlets.
