The Sneaky Way to E-mail an Editor
If you want to e-mail a magazine editor but don’t have her address, don’t fret — I’ve compiled the e-mail formats of some of the bigger publishing companies.

Thanks for the reminder! I actually wrote this post a while back. Oops!
Thanks for the list. Companies do have strange email structures that is for sure. The worst part is that emails include both the first and last name and some email adresses are really long!
