Most editors do not look favorably on emailed proposals or letters of inquiry if they come totally cold.<br /><br />And as for the SAA workshop: eh. I'm not sure that increases the overall number of people sending out proposals--we've all got the same publication pressures--though you may be right that it increases the number of <i>appealing</i> proposals somewhat.<br /><br />Good luck!Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-9755277469439942342011-06-17T13:59:28.361-04:002011-06-17T13:59:28.361-04:00Ah--I was going to ask you if you sent your propos...Ah--I was going to ask you if you sent your proposal and initial materials via email or by post. You noted you "dropped it into the mail" this time, so it sounds like you used the US postal service. <br /><br />Is that true for all of the steps involved?<br /><br />I'm hoping to finish a draft of my proposal this week or next, and wasn't sure about whether to send electronically or in hard copies.<br /><br />Also: I think that SAA publication workshop has probably caused a backlog all over the place; I think a huge number of people got proposals drafted and critiqued because of that thing.
