Bill O’Sullivan runs a magazine and teaches writing, and he offers surprising advice for writers on dealing with editors. He says this on simultaneous submissions: "I have no problem with them. Writing is your livelihood — why shouldn’t you shop a piece to more than one place at the same time? Just don’t send a query to a Washingtonian editor and say you’d like to write for the Washington Post Magazine. I’ve been on the receiving end of that blunder."
