Information is of the best use when it is shared with other people. That’s why I started the website, Mental Hiking.
Now, I want to invite other authors from across the globe to share their valuable content with us. It would give them a chance to share their fresh perspectives with curious readers.
However, I must tell you very clearly that you need to focus on creative and unique content to give some useful information to our readers.
After accepting your draft article, my team would give you genuine feedback regarding the improvements you need to make in your content. Following the revisions, you need to re-submit it to my team to verify it again.
Believe me, your content will reach the eyes of many readers, potential clients, publishers and employers. And it would give you a good opportunity to learn from it and extend your professional network.
Moreover, you get to learn new ways to communicate with readers and writing for us will provide you with a much larger audience.
