New England, old rules
17Jan08
An email arrives from Enjoy England — which in that modish way is an organisation as well as an exhortation — pointing out that nominations close tomorrow for its travel-writing awards.
The rules governing entries for those awards must have been drafted before the last marketing makeover. They say: “Please send two copies of the article, one of which must be an original copy, as well as a copy of the manuscript originally submitted.”
Are there still newspaper and magazine publishers receiving pieces in the form of manuscripts? And are any of them prosperous enough to run to the cupboard space and staff that would be necessary to file those “originally submitted”?
