 ## Technical Writing Guidelines
 
 ### Conditions
 
-As stated in our publishing policy, we only accept new articles. I’m afraid we cannot republish existing work. We are not accepting agency work, promotional material, or sponsored posts of any kind.
+1. As stated in the publishing policy, we only accept 100% fresh write-ups(of any kind). We strictly do not encourage republishing any existing work or even a portion of it. Keploy doesn't accept agency work, promotional material, or sponsored posts of any kind.
+2. Submitted entries must have a volume of more than 500 words, & chosen keywords (will be shared after topic submission).
+3. Adhere strictly to the plagiarism policy. 
+4. Understand and comply with the Terms and Conditions of the Keploy Community Writing Program.
 
-### Writing Instructions
-
-1. **Be Certain**: Make sure you are confident in your topic and presenting factual information. If you are not sure, please reach out to us and we can help you refine your idea.
-2. **Cut the fluff**: Don't use unnecessary words or contextless words. Make sure all the words in a sentence have a contextual relevance and meaning.
-3. **Use numeric values**: Use specific numeric values. Instead of writing there are many reasons or some reasons for X, write there are 5(or any specific numbers) main reasons for X.
-4. **Optimize subordinate text first sentence**: Optimizing subordinate text means optimizing the first sentence after a heading. When search engines process a content they don't check the entire content. If the subordinate text is not responsive enough search engines can skip the whole content. That's why give the answer early and make it clear as much as possible with the correct format. <br>
-<u>Example: </u><br>
-Heading: How to do X <br>
-Wrong Subordinate Text: X is... <br>
-Correct Subordinate Text: To do X... <br>
-
-5. **Match the Anchor text with the Targeted Web page's title**: If you want to use "X" as your anchor text ensure "X" is used in the Title tag of the targeted web page and the source page's Heading. It will provide the best possible responsiveness if you're able to match them providing contextual relevance.
