Contributor Guidelines

Message from the Editor

Last updated January 2012

The number of people looking to join our team of contributors grows in line with Flying Solo's burgeoning exposure. This helps explain why following guidelines are so stringent and why only one in four are brought on board.

The guidelines that follow have been refined over five years. I know from experience that they work. So if you want to beat the odds, please adhere to the guidelines! In fact those who deviate from the process (e.g. email me directly with articles) are roundly ignored. 

On a more cheerful, less huffy note, the detailed procedure is an excellent foundation from which to develop a lasting relationship between Flying Solo and contributors.

Finally, because our target audience is solo business owners in Australia, preference will be given to contributors who are also based in Australia.

Thanks for your interest and good luck!


Sam Leader
