...I handed my submission across. The clerk wiped it away, stamped it up and then glared at me because I was having trouble leaving the post office counter.
The agent I was posting to invites submissions by post or email, but as it was my first ever I wanted to do it the old-fashioned way. Do you send by email because it's free or is it too likely to get lost in cyberspace for your liking? I have to admit, having stared at my envelope pondering possible errors and been asked to clear the counter for the next customer, I think email would be less embarrassing!
Do you have a preference?
The best of luck!
Can't wait till I'm there and have to rack my mind with these questions
Yeah, don't send things by recorded delivery. It's one more thing for the person on the other end to do.
Anyway, GOOD LUCK Victoria. I'll have everything crossed for you.
I prefer sending submissions by post because I believe there will always be the lure of the envelope. Call me old fashioned, but there is magic when opening an envelope and sighting pages and pages of someone’s effort in writing. I know you can get than from an e-mail, but somehow there is an immediacy and curiosity when receiving posted hard copies.
Unlike your case, the lady serving me at the Post Office, smiled conspiratorially, took time with my envelope and wished me lots of success. I left the place smiling and at that moment the probability of a publisher’s rejection was far from my mind. She made my day.
