Hand-written submissions will be returned unread. Writers who submit manuscripts without including a self-addressed, stamped return envelope will receive neither the manuscript nor a printed rejection. We will not consider stories submitted electronically or by fax. We strongly suggest a brief cover letter listing your publishing credits or other relevant information. All properly submitted stories are given careful consideration by our staff.
Response time is approximately eight to ten weeks.
We regret the delay, but we receive several hundred submissions each week and it takes time to go through them. We appreciate your interest in our magazine, and hope you will submit material you feel is suited to Playboy 's high standards. All rights reserved.
