BLOG ARTICLE PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Start with one topic and give every reader a clear draft.

Begin with a topic and audience, then prepare a structured article and simpler versions for different reading levels. Keep the original draft, proposed image, and supporting materials together for an editor to review; leave the article unpublished until a person approves its accuracy, suitability, rights, and final presentation.

  1. Define the topic and intended readers

    Provide the article’s purpose, audience, key points, and any source material the content owner has approved.

  2. Prepare a structured article draft

    Organize the topic into a clear title and readable sections while marking claims that need evidence.

  3. Create versions for different reading levels

    Prepare simpler wording for younger or newer readers without changing the meaning or omitting essential cautions.

  4. Review facts, suitability, and image rights

    Have an editor and, where appropriate, a subject expert check accuracy, reading level, tone, and permission for proposed visuals.

  5. Approve the unpublished draft before release

    Keep every version unpublished until an authorized editor approves the exact copy, image, audience, and destination.

The handoff

An unpublished article draft with versions for different readers and a proposed image, ready for an editor to check.

Keep in mind

Drafts may invent facts, oversimplify important ideas, or include unsuitable or unlicensed images. Check sources and rights, have subject and age-appropriate reviewers assess the different versions, protect unpublished material, and require an authorized editor to approve the exact article and image before publication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose useful article brief details

Define topic, purpose, readers, length, sources, and writing direction for each request.

Set reading-level and subject review

Decide who verifies that simplified versions remain accurate and suitable for their intended readers.

Set visual and publishing boundaries

Use approved image sources and keep drafts unpublished in a location with appropriate access.

Assign final editorial approval

Name who checks facts and rights and who may approve each version for publication.
