British Periodicals

The writer who has received the wide approval of British magazines is almost certain of a welcome here, and some of our American authors have taken this unusual and roundabout entrance to their home field. Mr. Robert Frost, the poet, may be mentioned as an outstanding recent instance. He had the advantage of living in England all the time.

Necessarily, in submitting manuscripts abroad, one should discriminate against violently American material; although the British editors and public are exceeding cordial to things American and Canadian. A pronouncedly literary treatment is desirable. Many of the magazines prefer short-stories that have atmosphere and charm; a few of the all-story magazines desire fiction that is all action. Foreign editors insist that manuscript pages should be fastened together with a clip. In all cases return postage, not in American, but in foreign stamps, should be included in the letter submitting the manuscript. Such postage stamps, or a return remittance order, can be obtained at United States post offices.
