Formal Drafts for Submission
Pieces of writing produced by you must have a life outside of you. 
Remember all writing adheres to that rhetorical triangle, and one corner of the triangle is the audience. 
When producing work for the audience of your teacher, your teacher is actually a stand-in for the larger scholarly community to which you are contributing your piece. 
They stand in for the journalistic, academic, creative, or public audience that your work might ultimately speak to. 
So you want to ensure that your work is professional: 
submitted on time
polished for spelling and grammar
and submitted in the format according to the teacher's directions. 
Exam Tip
All of these components make up part of the final mark for the piece of writing in establishing your professionalism.

Formal Drafts for Online Publication
If you are submitting things for publication online — a blog or social media post — you want to pay special attention to the various public audiences that you may be submitting to as well as to the time component. 
Is your work work that you will stand behind now and into the future? 
Would future you be proud of the piece if it appears later in your life? 
Imagine a readership of people you do not personally know. 
Will the piece make sense?

Querying/Pitching for Formal Publication
If you want to take a piece of writing and get it published, it will first start with a query. 
Most sites/publication houses have emails where you can send your query. 
A query letter should be short, demonstrate your professionalism, and communicate the main point of your writing. 
In it you will want to be specific about length, genre, and how your writing speaks to the publication outlet's aims. 
What are you adding to their aims/objectives?
