Illustrative Editorial

[Darryl Brooks]

Been submitting Illustrative Editorial  for the past week without a problem. Have submitted hundreds in the past. In the last two days, the reviewer suddenly thinks it needs a traditional editorial caption. You would think SS would want to keep its fewer contributors happy. 

They're already selling on Adobe.

As far as I know, illustrative editorial images have always required traditional editorial captions. So you've had some accepted in the past without such captions? I'm surprised they were let through.

They have always required an editorial caption, so if you were able to submit them without one in the past, that's where the mistake was made.

Yep, have to agree with Patrick and Firn. You need an editorial caption for any type of editorial submission. Seems like you just got slack reviewers in the past.
