Hints:
“Send your best work. Seems obvious, but many people send what reads like a first draft. Read the publication and the guidelines. Again, should be obvious but it needs to be said. Be polite in your communications. Editors are people too. Like you, we have our good and bad days, life pressures and all the rest, so cordial interactions go a long way. Don’t resend your submissions with tweaks. See number 1. I receive too many submissions to keep track of versions. If your piece is accepted, we can tweak it in the editing process.”
