I mailed it with all my contact details including EMail id . I am also registered at the newsletter section of the site.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Would a lack of SASE mean disqualification for me ?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks and Regards,<BR/>Ujjwal Dey<BR/>Bombay, INDIA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911385636741912624.post-3025580075058005942008-01-05T02:41:00.000-08:002008-01-05T02:41:00.000-08:00Hey this is great advice.

I always suspected that you had to hit the reader with a brilliant first page (and that perhaps good stories with a poor first page were removed in editorial Triage - not that K.D. Wentworth's statement actually goes that far). What I would like to know is has any of the winning (and thus published) stories ever recieved a hugo or nebula? If not, why not? Some of this year's stories struck me as being particularly good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911385636741912624.post-53235231423126276682007-12-27T10:06:00.000-08:002007-12-27T10:06:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911385636741912624.post-90300910194302405232007-12-22T08:38:00.000-08:002007-12-22T08:38:00.000-08:00Great stuff.

I am glad to find that the story I submitted less than a week ago thankfully fits this helpful criteria, but will definitely keep this information in the forefront of my mind for future submissions (if needed :) ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
