It’s time for our bimonthly call for subscriber writing! We are finally switching to a Google form to collect responses. Please submit your responses here. Deadline for this month is Sunday, April 14th, at 10 PM EST. At that time I will disable the ability to submit new responses in the form until the next call, so get your submissions in on time. If you’re an old hand at this, you can click over to the form and submit your work and safely close this email. If you’re new to this,
I think it would save you a lot of work/hassle to set up the Google Form so that each piece of information (name, title, link, blurb) is a separate field, and then set up a mail merge-esque template in Google Docs with all the correct formatting.
I think bimonthly is a good move. I enjoy these roundups, as I always find at least a couple pieces I enjoy reading, and occasionally find myself bingeing the author's substack as a result.
Thank you for the opportunity, as always, Freddie! I am alas joining the litany of people who weren't able to get the hyperlink to appear in the Google form. (Or maybe it's there? It doesn't look like it, but I could be wrong.) I'm sorry about the extra work this is causing!
Freddie, how are we supposed to format our submissions in the Google form? Those entry fields don't have formatting.
I don't think it's possible to hyperlink article in google form.
I really enjoyed a lot of the pieces from the last time you did this. Looking forward to the next batch.
I had the same problems with the form, but I've put everything in the proper order.
Same issues. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
