How to Submit a Short Story to the New Yorker

Everyone has a story to tell. If you're a writer, you might have more than one. Thirty years ago, if you wanted to submit your story to a periodical like The New Yorker, you had to type your story out letter by letter on a typewriter, correcting any mistakes, then stuff the manuscript in an envelope, stamp the envelope and drop it in a mailbox. Today, submitting your short story to The New Yorker takes less than a minute. Give it a try.
