# The Draft Bench

> The Draft Bench is an independent publication about briefs, drafting systems, editorial review, and content operations. It is not a content agency, publishing platform, SEO vendor, newsroom, certification provider, or continuation of any former entity associated with this domain.

The Draft Bench publishes original, long-form guides about blogging & content tools. Every article opens with a concise direct answer, is structured with clear headings and FAQs, and reflects mainstream expert consensus.

## Editing Systems

- [How to Audit a Blog Post Before Publishing](https://blogwerk.com/audit-blog-post-before-publishing/): Audit a blog post in separate passes. Compare the title, opening, headings, conclusion, and metadata promise with the body.
- [How to Write Alt Text for Blog Images](https://blogwerk.com/write-alt-text-blog-images/): Write alt text that supplies the information or function an image contributes in its specific page context.

## Planning Tools

- [Blog Content Calendar: A Small-Team Workflow](https://blogwerk.com/blog-content-calendar-small-team/): Create one record per article, with a specific reader question, an owner, a current status and separate dates for drafting, review and publication.
- [Write an Editorial Brief That Prevents Rewrites](https://blogwerk.com/write-editorial-brief-prevents-rewrites/): Write an editorial brief as a decision record. Define the reader, the action or decision the article should enable, and the risk it should avoid.
