<p>Hi Stephen,</p>
<p> Thanks for your straight forward practical advice. I'll be double-checking those guidelines.</p>
<p>Good luck with your writing and publishing too ... Karen :))</p>
<p>PS Noticed your martial arts attire. My crime faction novel, Sayonara has an Aikido theme.</p>

<p>All of the basics - name, address, contact info (including website, phone #, and email), plus anything and everything requested on the submission guidelines or query guidelines for that particular publisher. Don't skip anything and don't add anything not requested.</p>
