I submitted a short story via e-mail about a month ago. I'm not sure I'll do that anymore. It was like sending it off into a black hole. On the bright side, I got an e-mail from the USPS on the 12th that informed me that my book has been delivered. Gotta love that package tracking! It now sits in the great slush pile anxiously awaiting the tender mercies of one of their editors. If they decide to reject it I'd prefer to get the manuscript back. It costs darned near $50 to print and mail, so if I can save some ink and resend it to the next publisher, so much the better. And there is always the outside chance that they will pen a comment or two before throwing in the towel. However it works out, I'm just glad I sent it in. jon
