Want to Write for Us? Here are the Guidelines!

GUIDELINES (Post from HotEslTravel.blogspot.com):

Hello! Hot ESL Travel Spots is a Travel Blog where ESL Students tell other ESL and EFL Students (and the whole world!) about the places they have traveled during their studies of the English language. Students will tell you reasons to visit, or avoid, places all over the United States and the rest of the English-speaking world!

If YOU are interested in writing an article for us, please follow these GUIDELINES:

1) Please give your article a title. We suggest that the title be used to grab the attention of the reader, letting them know immediately at least where you visited, and whether you liked it or hated it.

2) Please use 12 point font size with "Times New Roman" as the font

3) Please indent each paragraph

4) Double space the entire article.

5) Maintain one inch margins on top, bottom and sides.

6) Your article should contain at least FIVE PARAGRAPHS (Introduction, 3 Reasons you Like/Don't Like, Conclusion):

  -The first paragraph should provide a basic introduction. Your first sentence should also be very effective at continuing to grab the attention of your readers.

  -Paragraphs 2-4 should each provide and describe the three reasons you really like and recommend visiting this location, or place; or three reasons you did not like it, and recommend avoiding.

  -The final paragraph should provide a conclusion.

7) Spelling, punctuation, and grammar are very important.

You can use the checklist below to make sure you have everything covered.
