Like you say if I did make a mistake I'll just admit to it and apologise. I've learnt that theres little point in pretending that you didn't do something wrong when you did because you always get found out in the end.Colette McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383068332228040704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-5704592624903637132008-05-23T12:06:00.000+01:002008-05-23T12:06:00.000+01:00I wouldn't have thought it would be the end of the...I wouldn't have thought it would be the end of the world, even if you have sent the wrong covering letter. We all make mistakes - even editors and publishers! The trick is to admit your mistake and apologise for it, rather than hiding it by saying nothing. That is, if it is actually the wrong letter.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the time-stamps on the files for these stories and letters might give you a clue? For example, if the "last modified" date & time for the (wrong) cover letter file is very similar to that for the story document, then this is further evidence for a mistake. It doesn't prove it of course, only the magazine will know that for sure.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hope things turn out good in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
