爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The most successful authors have "broken into" the magazines very often without even a letter accompanying their first manuscript. The name and address in the right-hand corner of the first page; some "return" stamps in the left corner, and all that the editor requires is there. The author need tell nothing about the manuscript; if what the editor wants is in it he will find it. An editor can stand a tremendous amount of letting alone. If young authors could be made to realize how simple is the process of "breaking into" the modern magazine, which apparently gives them such needless heartburn, they would save themselves infinite pains, time, and worry.

白话
最成功的作者常常连附信都没有就“闯进”杂志。第一页右上角写姓名地址,左下角贴退稿邮票,编辑要的就全了。作者不必介绍稿子;如果里面有编辑要的东西,他自会找到。编辑完全能承受作者不打扰。如果年轻作者能明白闯现代杂志其实很简单,他们就会省去无数痛苦、时间和焦虑。关键是把作品准备好,按规矩寄出,然后耐心等待,不必过度包装或托人。
上下文
博克总结投稿的极简规则,劝年轻作者别把过程想得太复杂。
今日一问
你能否把一件想做的事简化到“写好、寄出、等待”三步?
