1) How to Submit (Internet Writer Resource Guide)

These addresses are provided through the courtesy of the publisher for
the purpose of submitting queries or complete manuscripts. In all cases
it is best to first *query* the publisher with a short description of
your article idea or outline of an already-written article. In your
query, you should address how your article fits in with the magazine's
scope and focus. If you are querying multiple editors, do this for
each. Make sure that you are familiar with their general magazine
content enough to avoid wasting their time with irrelevent pieces or
ones that have just recently been covered. If the entry states that the
magazine has writer's guidelines, ask the editor for those first and
adhere to them.

Multiple submissions: in general, if you want to adhere to the utmost
standards of politeness, avoid multiple simultaneous submissions.
Particularly with email you generally receive a very rapid turnaround,
so that the necessity of multiple submissions is decreased. If you
absolutely must attempt simultaneous submissions, and one editor accepts
an article, immediately email to all others that you are withdrawing
the article. Explicitly noting the status of your submission as
exclusive or simultaneous is a good idea. Do not carbon copy send a
single article with no individual attention to the receiving editors.

If you learned of the email address from this source, please tell the
editor that. It will encourage the editor to maintain the capability,
spur other editors to set up their own email addresses, and in turn help
expand your own list of possible and alternative outlets for your
writing.
