Pedestal Magazine has a form you copy and paste your piece into, and then hit send. I prefer sending my own document, because I know the formatting's correct, plus I'm a weirdo superstitious freak like that, and I want to send them the copy I've poured all my writing hoodoo into (hey, that rhymed!).<br /><br />Sadly I think we'll be seeing more and more of these submittal forms, though, if for no other reason than it makes life easier for the publishing markets out there. And in that vein, I guess it's something we should at least try to embrace.B.

Either way, you send them off and wait. Sometimes it seems the only way to personalize querying is to go to conferences and try to meet agents and editors you're interested in. Of course, if you're submitting to magazines, anthologies, or journals, those editors are not at as many conferences as book editors.<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.com
