    • Do not submit the same article more than once.
    • Your article must be the final draft. Do not submit updates (see above).
    • Write about something specific. Do not submit articles like “How To Be Happy”.  For example, one of the most popular articles on DLM is titled “Ten Simple Ways to Make Your Boss Think You’re Brilliant (And Indispensable)“. It’s unique and a must read for nearly everyone!
