"I would add to the excellent advice below that to paint the town with submissions leads to the overwhelm editors experience. In turn, this clogs up the submissions system and it takes more time for me to get a reply.
If I know an editor to whom I…"

"Thanks, Dorian and Ellen."
Ellen Estilai replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Essay Writing
"I agree. In your cover letter, let each publication that accepts simultaneous submissions know that you are submitting to more than one. Then, when you have an acceptance, let the others know as soon as possible. "
Dorian Burden replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Essay Writing
"I think it depends on the publication. Each one should have submissions or writer's guidelines which should lay out whether they accept simultaneous submissions or not. You'd want to check them out anyway before sending anything out."
