While I have used online submission forms this video brought up some tips that I had not considered and I found it very well done and informative. I will be looking forward to your next one.
I have been submitting my poetry and short stories on line for years but rarely do I get any response, so I gave up and am concentrating on the one response I did get. A New York Writers Agency that converts novels to screenplays has accepted my novel and I am working with them now. I do appreciate it when publishers give you the courtesy of a reply.
Great info on submitting to publishers electronic mail. The only problem I have with it is that "UTube." makes such fuzzy print-outs, I couldn’t read the diagrams, so, I didn’t get much out of it,. However, the voice of the woman was extremely distinct. Thank you. Wm. White
