    If they say "no", thank them for their time and try finding another person to write it. If they say "yes", don't assume that they will write it the day they reply, so give them some time to gather the required information if they should need it and compose the article.

EditTips

  • If you know a little about the topic or subject, try adding your own points once the article has been published.
  • Be polite when asking authors to write the article for you. If you were rudely asked to do something for someone else, you wouldn't do it. Have the same courtesy for them as you would have for yourself.
