    IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SHIPPING MANUSCRIPTS
    If you plan to mail your manuscript in hard copy form, do not send documents by any method that requires a signature. It costs you more and complicates delivery. I recommend Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. It’s fast, secure, does not require a signature, and you can track it at www.usps.com. Through this Web site you can also print your postage, get free tracking, and schedule the postal service to pick up your package at no charge. The post office will even supply free shipping boxes or envelopes that are virtually indestructible.
