submissions

 

We've come a long way since the aching wrists and typists humps plagued many unfortunate writers as they pounded away at their final drafts and tapped toes and fingers the second the manuscripts were ''in the post'. Our submissions guide reveals all for those of you who want the world to share your inspirations and imaginings!

Here's a story by author Tom L. Waters about his experience trying to find International Reply Coupons (IRC). This is an experience we've heard from many writers.

IRC Story

Note: An alternative to IRCs is to include $1 US, which covers return postage for US and interntional subsmissions, and is less expensive than an IRC. For responses to writers, we can ONLY use Canadian stamps (NOT US or other).
