🔍 Our Qualification Process

After receiving your email, we review every application carefully. Here’s what happens:

✅ What We Look For

To qualify as a WeWillExplain author, you should have:

• Strong writing skills — clear grammar, engaging style, logical flow
• Subject knowledge — you don’t need a PhD, but you must understand what you’re explaining
• Ability to simplify — can you explain quantum physics to a 12-year-old? That’s our gold standard
• Original voice — we want unique perspectives, not Wikipedia rewrites
• Commitment to accuracy — facts matter. Sources matter. We check everything
• Reliability — if you commit to a deadline, meet it

📋 Author Rules & Boundaries

Once approved, all authors must follow these guidelines:

📝 Content Standards

• Original work only — no plagiarism, no copying from other sites, no AI-generated content submitted as fully original (AI-assisted drafting is allowed if disclosed and heavily edited)
• Fact-check everything — cite credible sources. If you make a claim, back it up
• Explain, don’t preach — present balanced information. Avoid heavy bias unless the article is clearly labeled as opinion
• No hate speech, harassment, or illegal content — ever
• No self-promotion — don’t use articles to promote your business, products, or external services unless pre-approved
• Respect copyright — only use images, data, and quotes you have rights to use

🔒 Account & Access Rules

• Don’t share your login — your author account is personal. Sharing credentials will result in immediate termination
• Don’t create multiple accounts — one author, one account
• Secure your password — use a strong, unique password. We are not responsible for hacked accounts due to weak security
• We monitor activity — unusual login patterns or suspicious behavior may trigger account review

⏰ Publishing & Editorial

• All articles are reviewed — nothing goes live without editor approval
• Editors can modify your work — for clarity, accuracy, tone, or SEO. Major changes will be discussed with you
• Meet your deadlines — if you commit to a publishing date, deliver. Repeated missed deadlines may result in access removal
• Topic approval — pitch your topic before writing (unless pre-assigned). We avoid duplicate or off-brand content
• We reserve the right to reject — any article that doesn’t meet our standards, even after submission

💰 Compensation & Rights

• Currently volunteer-based — we do not offer monetary payment at this time (update this if you do)
• You retain moral rights — your byline stays on published work
• We hold publishing rights — once published on WeWillExplain, the article belongs to our platform. You may not republish it elsewhere without permission
• We may update or remove articles — for accuracy, relevance, or site maintenance
• No competing platforms — don’t submit the same article to us and another site simultaneously

🚫 Grounds for Termination

Author access may be revoked immediately if you:

• Submit plagiarized or stolen content
• Publish false, misleading, or harmful information intentionally
• Violate any content standard or account rule repeatedly
• Use your author status for spam, scams, or self-promotion
• Harass staff, editors, or other authors
• Attempt to hack, exploit, or damage the website
• Share your login credentials with unauthorized users

🔄 Reapplying After Termination

If your access is revoked, you may reapply after 6 months with a written explanation of what changed. Reapproval is not guaranteed and depends on the severity of the original violation.
