Master the Art of Submitting: The Secret to Thriving as a Writer Without Burning Out
These are logistical ways to save time, but psychological ones are the toughest. Don’t touch the writing of a submission when you are submitting it. Don’t even read it. It’s done. It’s ready to go.

There are loads of magazines in the sea. If you find you messed up later, so be it. Learn. Add a second pair of eyes to your prep process.
