Path to Publication

 

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.
