FEATURED BOOK
Manuscript Title Change
(also: Replacing a Ms. with a Completely Different Story)
Manuscript title changing is done manually, so I encourage people NOT to change the title of a manuscript in any way whatsoever. But for cases of typos in the original, or the need to remove one title and replace with another (that is, entirely replacing the ms. with a different piece), etc., please follow the instructions on this page and use this form.
Note that this page is not for resubmitting an updated manuscript where the title remains the same. See the FAQ for information how to replace a manuscript where the title hasn't changed.
Step 1: Check the date. Title changes can't be made within two days before the date (a Wednesday) that the manuscript is scheduled to be sent out.
Step 2: Submit your new manuscript as new, using the usual means (web form, etc.). It should have the new title you want (which is different than the old one, or you wouldn't be using this page :). Do not mark it as a resubmission; it should appear to be a brand new queue submission.
Step 3: Fill out this form:
Ok! You'll hear back from the Critter Captain when he's made the change. Might be a few days, even as long as a week. (Name changes aren't high priorities since they only need to be done before the manuscript is sent out.)
