We are totally serious about this Style Book thing. We are so serious that if you won't read our Style Book, we won't read your story. How do we know that you read our Style Book? Because there is a SECRET WORD -- actually, two of them -- in the Style Book. Put the Secret Word(s) in your submission letter and we will read your story with intent interest.
