Product: Web Ready Submit Web Ready Submit is software that allows you to tailor your submissions process to the needs of your magazine through a web site and an interactive database. Everything is set up for you online.

Here’s how it works: once you have set up the web site, you are ready to accept online submissions. You simply tell writers to submit stories and articles online. You do this by giving them the address of your web site, say http://www.fictionisus.com and behind that address, magic happens.

For example, say that you have an upcoming deadline for your journal and you need to have one more story to complete it. You have three stories that you are considering. Your senior editors are scattered about: one in Canada, one in Boston, two in the Midwest, and one in LA. Instead of expensively FedExing manuscripts all over the United States, you have all the editors log into the Editors’ Only portion of the web site. Each editor reads the story and makes comments on it. In twenty-four hours, you have chosen a story; you send email to the writer, and once the writer accepts, you are ready to go to production.

That’s how easy life can be with the Online Submissions Site.
