The Editing Protocol is a machine and human hybrid protocol for improving story quality and distribution.
We wrote this protocol to help writers write better, understand why we publish what we publish, and reject what we reject.
Our goal’s to remove subjectivity as much as possible from the process and make our guidelines and processes crystal clear.
