“Then sometimes, out of the blue, an editor will say ‘hey, I’m looking for Such and So’ and after I regain my senses (because the editor was certainly NOT looking for Such OR So when I pitched before!) I am very happy to offer up Exhibit A: one lovely manuscript, with fresh crisp pages, in TNR 12 point, and delivered by a ripped bicycle messenger and oh goodness was that a stray bottle of whiskey in the pouch?; well never mind do keep it.” -Janet Reid
