WRITER'S GUIDELINES

1. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, with wide margins.
   
   
2. Manuscripts and queries should be accompanied by a cover letter, samples of published manuscripts, if applicable, and a self-addressed stamped envelope. To speed response time, instead of a SASE we recommend writers enclose a postage-paid postcard reading:

   ___ Yes, we are interested in publishing (title of ms).

   ___ No, we regrettably have to pass on its publication.

   ___ Maybe. We'd like to hold on to the manuscript for future consideration.
   

3. To obtain a sample copy, send a check in the amount of $3.50 payable to Reform Judaism.
