Hey:

I wrote up some tips and guidelines for AGM beat writers. Please read them over when you get a minute.

This message is going to all "beat writers", not just you, so if you already read the page I'm pointing out, cool. Thanks!

Dan

Basically, I want two (or more!) articles per week, in the 300-1000 word range, that really tell everyone else what is going on with the Cubs. Read more about it here and sign up by clicking the "edit" button on that page.

I'm going to set up an advice page for the beat writers, too.
