How To Find Out If Your Work Is Accepted—Immediately

Do you wait with great anticipation to find out if your work has been accepted or rejected when the mail finally arrives? Do you tear open the envelope only to find it's been rejected once again? This won't be stress-filled if you follow this method. On the bottom right corner of your self-addressed, stamped envelope, simply mark as shown:

Acceptance ____

Rejection ____

Most editors will check the correct one for you. This way, you know at a glance which envelopes should be opened first and the rejections can be opened later when you are more relaxed.

For me, this method is fast and efficient. It's a way of knowing immediately whether you have something to be excited about. It will help you, too.
