How to suggest an author

When you are signed in, you will see at the bottom of each page of Knol search results:

Know someone who knows something? Suggest an author

From this link you can invite one or more authors to write knols.  The standard email invitation text looks like this:

Subject: Sally Smith wants you to write a knol about "cloud computing".

Hello,

Sally Smith recommended you as a knol author. A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic. Click on the following link and see how easy it is to share what you know with the world:

http://knol.google.com/k/knol/system/services/createKnol

You can edit the subject line and add text after the fixed introduction to personalize the invitation.

We encourage you to use this means to recommend people you respect and believe may write expert pages.  These authors may not understand just how much they know about something until you give them a vote of confidence.

How Knol may use this information

At some future time, we may display the number (but not the identities) of people that you have invited to join Knol.

If you have invited authors who create high quality knols, that reflects positively on your reputation within Knol.
