[New-Poetry] Electronic Submissions

[millb at aol.com]

I think, that a lot of magazines fear they will be overwhelmed by submissions if they switch to online.? Also, my guess is that, even with online submissions, editors will STILL print out and distribute the work via hard copy paper, so,?the burden is with the editors or student assistants to print out submissions for round table discussion.? At least these are the concerns I have heard about.

Just got a rejection note from Crazyhorse, which was odd since I haven't submitted anything to them in a couple of years, but that's not what I'm writing about. Also on the note was the information that they are going toward an all-email policy for submissions.?

Please consider submitting your manuscript online rather than mailing it. Submitting a manuscript online eliminates paper and postage costs, logs the receipt of your manuscript automatically, and allows you to withdraw or replace a manuscript as you wish.?
?
Why aren't more magazines doing this, and doing it for those exact reasons??
