Quote of the Week
I probably get 10-15 unsolicited manuscripts a week that are just addressed to 'Dear Editor'... I just delete them straight away. As editors, we're looking for a reason to say 'No' because we've got so much to do. If you address somebody by their name, it shows the editor that at least you've done some sort of research...
