During my most recent submission, I neglected to include my e-mail address with my story. Is there a way that I may remedy this mistake?

But your submission email still has an email address in it, right? The Reply-To address, of the account you sent it from?

Our standard practice is to reply to whatever email address the submission came from. If there's no email address in the file of your story manuscript, that's not a huge problem--we don't print out the manuscripts (we read them on the computer), so there's almost zero chance we would "lose" your manuscript and not know what email to reply to.

If you still think you need to correct the situation, or for anyone else reading this post in the future who's concerned about correcting some other mistake that would prevent us from being able to read your sub or reply (like forgetting to attach the manuscript file to the email :) ), feel free to send a second submission email briefly explaining what happened and fixing it. No biggie.

Thank you for such a quick and thorough response! It is the attachment that lacks a return e-mail address. I use a Hotmail account, so I assume there is an easily found return adress listed.

Thank you again!
