People have very short attention spans when reading online. That said, some topics merit an in-depth examination. Our editors are less concerned with the length of a post than with how concise it is. Is the writing repetitive? Are the essential points communicated clearly and efficiently? Generally, posts should be between 600 and 1,200 words. If your piece is longer or shorter, you may want to read through your piece again to see if there are places where you can tighten the writing.
