Warnings Workshops 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.
