Contributing authors

How does one become a contributing author?  I use a lot of sites on a daily basis and feel like this site could benefit from some of the news surrounding sprint devices etc.  I follow something like 15 sites on a daily basis and I feel like I could contribute by giving a summary or something of some of the more interesting news.  I know we are not a site for "reposts" but I feel like the community at large here would benefit from some of the knowledge being passed about in other news sites.  Is this something that meets the S4GRU standards?  Would this be of any use to us as a community?  I would like just like to see more news articles from the wide world of sprint "stuff" here and wasn't sure if it fits Robert's vision.  I figured this section would make the most sense as it is not really categorized for any of the others.  I am not trying to flame or degrade the posts we do have on the front page, I just think some more relevant news on a more regular basis might be nice.  I mean I know everyone is busy and that's why the articles tend to be few and far between, but I am simply offering a suggestion and asking if it would be appropriate?

I would start with sending a PM to Robert to let him know what kinda topics you can share and potentially write an article for onThe Wall and see where it goes from there.  But basically the contributing author rank is for those that write articles on The Wall.

I would think a dedicated section for device reviews would be useful. I personally feel I can trust a review from someone here over someone at cnet when it comes to a critical look at the devices that come out. That way, someone knows when to avoid a dud such as the Evo LTE with its poor signal issue.

I was just thinking of writing a Surface RT review lol. Not directly related to Sprint, but I imagine most would be interested.

Contributing Authors have a special place in my heart. :wub:

I am sure that Robert will eventually chime in, but for now, I will speak for the staff.  Many of us have not had time the past few months to the write the articles that we have roaming around our heads.  For that reason and many others, we warmly welcome contributions to The Wall that are relevant and interesting to our readership.  If you have an idea, run it by Robert first to get the go ahead.  Then, write the article.  If it is your first contribution, do expect a staff member -- probably me -- to copy edit your submission to ensure that it meets our standards.  Once it is published, you are conferred the Contributing Author title and privileges for the next six months.

Sorry for the delay guys. I echo AJ's post. And add that once you write three articles, you get the title S4GRU Contributing Author and if you are a long term member you can get access to post your own articles at that point. Also, after you become a S4GRU Contributing Author, you get access to the Staff forums.
