Submission Tip: Use a Header

September 22, 2008

It’s hard to believe, but a simple header can make your submission stand out from the crowd.  Headers can make your submission not only professional, but memorable.  I receive many submissions each week, some of which are simply labelled, “Faraway Submission.”  The body of the submission then does not include the author’s name, and there [...]
