  1. Buffer’s Content team will review the draft and make any necessary changes. Our team keeps these edits as minor as possible, mainly looking at grammar and style. In the case of a significant edit, such as removing a section, we will communicate the changes ahead of time.
  2. Provide Buffer with your author’s name, headshot, a short bio (200 characters max), and links to your Twitter and website.
  3. Buffer will inform you of the projected publication date once you have signed off on the final version.
  4. Buffer will tag you or your company on social media to promote the post once published. Please note that our content calendar can be busy, so new submissions may take a few weeks to reach publication.
