Most editors are very busy and prefer mail or email correspondence. If you have the address of the office, I'd suggest sending to that address. I hope it works out for you!ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-12996108857363893862013-07-30T18:11:43.010-04:002013-07-30T18:11:43.010-04:00I'm so sorry you had to go through an experien...I'm so sorry you had to go through an experience like that.ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-29064080319311874642013-07-30T16:43:02.780-04:002013-07-30T16:43:02.780-04:00This is excellent advice, thank you!

His office is nearby my town and I personally want to show him my few poems. What should I do? Should I go or would it be better just to post him the poems and wait for his reply?
