1. All pitches other than the ideas listed above must be sent in using our pitch form. You can find it here.

If your Hot Topic is chosen to be edited and promoted by the editorial team, you will be notified with suggestions to share it far and wide so everyone can find it/read it. Edits are limited to content, typos, SEO help, image changes, and clarity.

If your article requires major edits, or if multiple Experts select the same Hot Topic, we may not promote yours due to time constraints.

Don't worry, though!

If we receive multiple amazing submissions, we will do our best to publish both. In these instances, the first submission received will be edited with the original Hot Topics headline, and the additional submissions will be held slightly and given a modified headline in order to avoid publishing two articles that would essentially compete with each other.

Here's a look at a Hot Topic success from the past!
