MAILING MANUSCRIPTS.  Since manuscripts are written matter, they must be sent sealed as first-class mail at letter rates of postage.  For the return of rejected articles stamps may be attached to the cover page by means of a clip, or a self-addressed envelope with stamps affixed may be enclosed.  The writer’s name and address should always be given on the envelope in which the manuscript is sent to the publishers.

The envelope containing the article should be addressed to the “Editor” of a magazine or to the “Sunday Editor” of a newspaper, as nothing is gained by addressing him or her by name.  If a writer knows an editor personally or has had correspondence with him in regard to a particular article, it may be desirable to send the manuscript to him personally.  An accompanying letter is not necessary, for the cover page of the manuscript gives the editor and his assistants all the information that they need.

Articles consisting of only a few pages may be folded twice and mailed in a long envelope; bulkier manuscripts should be folded once and sent in a manila manuscript envelope.  Photographs of sizes up to 5 x 7 inches may be placed in a manuscript that is folded once, with a single piece of stout cardboard for protection.  When larger photographs, up to 8 x 10 inches, accompany the article, the manuscript must be sent unfolded, with two pieces of cardboard to protect the pictures.  Manuscripts should never be rolled.
