Whats a SASE?
“SASE” is short for self-addressed, stamped envelope. Enclosing a SASE with your submission makes getting a reply from a publisher much more likely. The SASE should be addressed to you (not to the publishing company) because it will be mailed to you. The envelope should be large enough and affixed with enough postage for the return of your manuscript. The SASE enclosed with a query letter should be large enough to hold a 8.5″ by 11″ sheet of paper (#9 envelopes are slightly smaller than regular #10 envelopes and fit nicely inside the regular business envelopes).
