I will be editing what you send me and writing the piece in my style and deciding which images are featured and in what order.
I will notify you if/when/where your interview will be published.
Be sure to share your feature as much as possible to increase its readership and your professional profile. I will share it on my professional and personal facebook page, and on twitter. I also link all my blogs together for more exposure.
