RE. unsolicitated submissions by email, you're absolutely right. Submitting by email without prior permission is one way to brand yourself an amateur in the eyes of a publisher and ruin any future chances of publishing with them. However, once a writer has written for a certain publisher, it's not uncommon to turn in future manuscripts strictly by email. I haven't used a postage stamp for years, except for returning contracts. <br /><br />Many publishers will accept queries by email, but I sure wouldn't take the risk and guess. Check writer's resources (Writer's Market online is a great example, and is updated regularly--well worth the annual fee for access) to be sure before taking that leap.<br /> ~Bonnie~MacroMomentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12148298530458168683noreply@blogger.com
