Electronic Submissions
The Crotchety Old Fan — John Scalzi has a piece today commenting on the fact that THE BIG 3 (SF mags) do not accept electronic submissions. I agree with his points, but am going off on a tangent here. The points John makes are actually a blueprint for a service someone could provide to writers who want to submit to the Big 3 but can’t or won’t take the trip back to the 70s. Send your ms in along with your preferred order of submission, postage and a small fee to cover envelope, paper, ink etc.  The service prints it out and mails it in.
