Tried to submit three poems to you at animalliterarymagazine @ Gmail.com, but the submission bounced back. They’re telling me this email address does not exist. Do I have it wrong?

Hi Ginny, You have it right. Some people forget the double “L”; does that help?
I think her problem is the capital G in gmail.
The capital G doesn’t matter, but the extra space before and after @ does. Caring and sharing.
[…] with Fiction Editor Sarah Cedeño was one of the most pleasurable experiences of my writing career so far, so I would encourage you […]
I tried to submit to you yesterday and the email kept bouncing back. I doubled the”l ” and used spaces before and after the @. What else do I need to know? Do you have a phone number?
Don’t use spaces in the e-mail. We just put them here so that we aren’t spammed (it’s a techie thing).
