After a divorce attorney posted some amazing advice about what she wished all clients knew before they came to her, we started thinking: Could this be a great series? So, if you are an expert in a field in which you advise clients, what are the basic things you wish they knew before they came to you? What dumb mistakes do you see being made over and over? What are the most common questions you receive?
This will be run as a post, and you can choose attribution -- if you want to have your name, website, etc., included, you can. You can also choose to be totally anonymous, or to use a pseudonym or initial(s).
Please note that we have limited time to make changes after the post goes live, so if you wanted to update it with new information a year later, we probably would not be able to do so (just as if you were quoted as a source in a news story, you could not change your quote or provide information post-publication). All change requests would be dealt with on a case by case basis and only via direct email to the editors (not social media, commenting on the blog, etc.).
Please note that not all submissions will be selected for publication; particularly the ones that feel promotional without sufficient meaningful content for readers will probably not be chosen. In addition, it may be weeks or months before your submission is selected for publication.
We will run an appropriate disclaimer on the post noting that this is not specific legal / medical / financial advice; we'll ask you if you'd like to suggest specific language.
Whether or not you choose to be totally anonymous, including with us, it would be amazing if we could have a reliable email address to ask you any follow-up questions for clarity's sake, as well as to give you a heads-up that the piece is running and at least a 24-hour private preview period. All information will be held pursuant to The Corporette Privacy Policy.
If you really don't want to give us your email address, please just list an obviously fake one below.
