Hi, Diane:

Are you meaning it's not always easy to determine how much postage to put on your SASE with US submissions? You can go to the USPS website and calculate current postage from the US to Canada at <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://ircalc.usps.gov/">http://ircalc.usps.gov/</a>

I never bother getting anybody to send me back my manuscripts, partly the return postage is cheaper and partly because I want to send a fresh copy out everytime --after all, it's not like we're typing out a fresh ms. everytime. So I just send a no. 10 business SASE with postage for a 1 oz. airmail letter to Canada, which at the moment is 63 cents.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Lori
