How do I submit an editorial?

Send your editorial directly through e-mail, or as an attachment (Word documents preferred), send it to mugglenetessays@gmail.com with "Editorial" as the subject.

Can I be a columnist?

We usually choose columnists from reliable authors who've consistently shown us they can write thought-provoking editorials. In other words, if you're interested in writing a regular column for us, don't ask us -- show us. If you have ideas you'd like to share, write them up and send us editorials to post. Whether or not you're tapped to be a columnist, you're getting your ideas out there.

How long will it take for my editorial to be posted?

There is no set time limit. We've posted editorials same day, next day, and even four months later. It depends on so many factors, including the amount of editorials we receive daily.

Will you let me know you've received my editorial?

Sorry! We receive too many editorials to be able to do this for everyone. Unless you receive an error message, however, be assured that we've received your e-mail.

Will you tell me why you decided not to post my editorial?

Again, sorry! Too many editorials to be able to do this for everyone, and frankly, we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. If it's constructive criticism you're after, contact one of the editors individually and we'll help you as we can. If you feel that your editorial is worthy to be posted on MuggleNet, and it still hasn't been posted six months later, feel free to submit again. Funny things can happen.

English isn't my primary language. Can I still submit an editorial?

Sorry, please only submit works if you speak English fluently.

Can my editorial be linked to a thread in the CoS forums?

We actually don't have a strong connection to the CoS forums anymore. Instead, we've placed comment boxes below all new editorials for anyone to comment, and for further discussion you can head over to our Editorial Forums to discuss any essay/topic you'd like.
