I couldn't understand why my work was consistently overlooked for the boost, and I've learned something recently about there needing to be a significant personal touch, which was often missing in my best stories, because they weren't about me. I'm a journalist. It's rarely about me. But my point is, it's not about being good, or being quality, but about cracking the formula, and if you have a good editor who can give you feedback on this, he's worth his weight in gold. I've published a few pieces on my recent discoveries about boost and can send you some links if you want to read them.
Or it might be that they hate you. But it might not. Just saying.
