In honor of
the most overused words and phrases of 2012, (here's a link)
http://www.canada.com/entertainment/Gallery+most+overused+words+phrases+2012/7760091/story.html
I’ve come up
with my own list of words and phrases that writers never want to hear again:
Simultaneous
submissions not accepted
Entry fee
We regret to
inform you
Agented submissions
only
Not what we
are currently in the market for
Doesn’t meet
our needs
Do not
contact us
Unfortunately,
we cannot afford to pay
My wish for
the new year is that we don’t hear any of these phrases in 2013!
Write soon,
Mary
