Submission Checklist
- Always check the publication's submission guidelines.
- Be certain that you're using the correct format for your submission. As well, the manuscript's printed text should be dark enough to be easily legible without eye strain.
- Check and recheck that you're including an S.A.S.E. when specified in the publications guidelines. Some publications permit an e-mail address instead. When submitting multiple manuscripts, include an S.A.S.E. for each manuscript unless an e-mail reply is permitted.
- Don't send simultaneous submissions unless the publication permits such and you've stated so in your cover letter to each publication receiving the same manuscript.
- Make sure you're sending your submission during a reading period.
- Be sure you're sending the right story to the right publication. Address the submission to the correct editor, as well.
