Before submitting work to a collapsing system, please confirm that the system is still accepting submissions and has not become a podcast, a coaching practice, or a newsletter about attention.
Read the guidelines. If the guidelines say “send three to five poems,” do not send seventeen poems, a memoir fragment, and a note explaining that categories are oppressive. The editors may agree with you in theory, but they are tired in practice.
Use a normal font. Attach the right file. Spell the editor’s name correctly, unless the editor has hidden behind a collective noun, in which case address the noun politely.
Do not explain that your work is unlike anything they have ever seen. This may be true, but it is rarely the kind of truth that helps.
Finally, send the work and go do something else. The mailbox is a cave. Shouting into it will not improve the acoustics.
