Thanks dialyn. I would have paid 3X the price for this information 3 years ago. I had to learn by trial and error. It's really not as scary as it sounds as long as you present a professional attitude to the assorted publishers and editors. They can be the nicest people, and quite a few of them have referred me to other publishers and editors. It's a roller coaster ride I completely enjoy. And most times it has been very lucrative.
