The site is only for serious writers as all the articles are thoroughly reviewed by real editors before they go online. The website has a strict in-house style and all writers are to abide by the rule.  I have been writing for the site for a month now, and here is a brief review about the site.

Writing at Suite 101

Once you sign up with Suite 101, you have to create your profile, add your own photograph, and start writing informative and original articles. Suite 101 publishes only informative articles, so it is not the place for short story writers or poets. There are 400 different subjects on which you can write your article. Suite101 has a learning center to help writers get acquainted with web writing format. The learning hub also gives tips on how to drive traffic to your articles. The learning hub is really helpful and informative and one should read all the tutorials in detail before they start writing and posting articles.

Suite 101: In-house style

The site has some strict in-house style that include writing in third person, a keyword rich title, bold subheadings using two or three keywords, a relevant conclusion, and a brief summary of the article that talks about the key points of the article. Each article should be accompanied by a relevant picture.

Once the article is written and revised it is given for publishing. Each topic has its own section editor and all articles are edited and reviewed by the editors before they are published. Publishing your first articles takes some time as the editor will review it, send you some notes if correction is needed, and then it gets published. A writer cannot publish the second article before the first article is published. Once the first article is published the writer can publish as many articles he/she wants. The articles are published instantly, but all are reviewed by editors in due course, and if any article does not meet the website standard they are flagged or even disabled by the editors for subsequent revisions. Once revision is done it is republished and again checked by the editors.
