Questions frequently asked by EdPresso creators.
We'll cover the following
How long are shots?
Shots should be short and highly interactive. Each shot should take no longer than 3-5 minutes to read and digest.
How do I add hyperlinks into my shot?
Hyperlinks are super easy to add! All you have to do is place the word that you would like to link in-between brackets and then place the actual link in-between parentheses, like this: [link](link. com).
How do I justify my content?
Don’t worry about it! Our content team will make sure that your final product is justified and beautiful.
Will I get paid?
EdPresso is (and always will be) a free platform. Although you will not be paid for your contributions, you will gain exposure and be given a shoutout on our Twitter page.

What is the review process?
Once a shot is submitted for publication, it will go through a light content and grammar review that takes about 3-4 days. Creators will be consulted via email before any substantial changes are made.
What happens once you’re published?
There will be a “contributor of the month” every month to honor the contributor whose shot received the most traffic in the month it was published. The contributor will receive a 3-month Educative gift subscription for their own use or give to someone else.
You will be invited to an exclusive Edpresso contributor Slack channel so that you can interact and network with other contributors.
