McSweeney's Submission Guidelines
Open Letters to People or Entities Who are Unlikely to Respond should be emailed to
[email protected]. The submission should be copy and pasted into the message field
rather than added as an attachment. The subject line should be a version of the open letter's title
and should indicate that it is a submission. On the sites guidelines, it says that cover letters are
unnecessary, but are accepted. I think including one could only improve my chances at
publication, so thats the route I decided to take.

Subject Line: Dilday - Submission - Open Letter to Men Who Hit on WaitressesDear Open Letters Editor,As a published journalist and previous editor-in-chief of my community college newspaper, Iunderstand how frustrating it can be to waste your time reading a story that doesn't apply to your
publication. What you are about to read is not one of those pieces. Surely you get dozens of
submissions, so let me start by saying that I have studied your rules for submission, havethoroughly read and re-read your publication, and can guarantee that my piece does not mention
noisy neighbors or small animals/insects that have invaded [my] home or workplace.I'm an ex-journalist turned creative writing fiend. During my three year stint in the news
industry, I worked as a corresponding journalist for The Sanford Herald, where I published
articles relating to the town's history, recent events, and interesting members of the community.As an emerging writer in the creative field, I'm interested in using my writing experience to
provide quality, creative work to an outstanding publication. As you read, An Open Letter to the
Kind Gentlemen Who Hit on Waitresses in Sports Bars, I hope you'll find its overall quality,
sarcastic humor, and 854 word count to be the perfect fit for your publication.As this open letter was crafted to fit exclusively with the qualities and expectations ofMcSweeney's Internet Tendency, it has not been submitted to any other publications. Please feel
free to contact me at any time with questions or suggestions regarding this piece. You can reach
me through the email address or phone number provided below. Thank you again for taking thetime to consider my work. I look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely,Samantha Dilday
