Adjust your SASEs


Another hassle of the "Include an self-addressed, stamped envelope/wait three to six months for a reply" model of literary journal submission: there's a postage increase coming in January, from 37 to 39 cents. I just found out about this a few days ago. Therefore, I have a number of 37-cent-stamped SASEs out there that won't be returned until 2006 because of how slow journals are to respond, but that won't be acceptable come January. Good thing I list myself on the return address of SASEs too. Be sure to start adding 1-cent or 3-cent stamps to your SASEs if you're sending out now.

ugh. . .what a hassle. I didn't even think of that. Don't you love inflation?

Drat! They better make some cool 1 cent stamps, like with that that creepy king from the BK ads...

Thanks for the update. I've noticed that more and more journals are notifying via email these days so hopefully I'll be all right for the ones that are at-large.

Any idea what the price of postage for mail heading north to Canada might be. I've got a bunch of SASE's out there - I hope some will be sent back regardless.

Thanks for the heads-up. I got a bunch yesterday to 'upgrade' my SASEs... but alas, no Burger King King one-centers.

Yes, this does make me glad that the Muse responds via e-mail.
