You can do either one. The benefit of sending over a new article that hasn't been published is that it will also appear on my publication page with other articles.

You can also send over an article that is self-published but it won't appear near the top of the page, so it probably won't make much of a difference in helping you get more views.

I hope that makes sense.

Everything gets published in less than 24 hours. The main rule is to avoid using AI. I try to make the publishing process easy and simple for writers.
