long-form

Write an article

Read author context, audience and the full primary source material. Define the reader's question and the answer the article can support. Set format and length from the brief; avoid padding to meet an invented word count.

Build an argument map: thesis, supporting claims, evidence, counterpoint/limit and reader application. Check each claim's source before drafting. Missing evidence may narrow the thesis or remain a labeled hypothesis.

Draft with concrete section promises. Use a worked example where the reader must perform a process. Distinguish the author's own experience from research and guests' accounts. Retain dates, scope and uncertainty.

Edit for logical order, repetition and unsupported absolutes. Verify externally changing facts from appropriate primary sources. Keep quotations within permitted use and preserve their meaning.

Return title, optional alternative, full draft and source notes outside the copy. A useful ending states what the reader can do or decide; it need not repeat the introduction. Save the requested artifact and use repurpose-content only when extra formats are wanted.
