According to Sargent (1916, Ch. LXV), how should a writer keep a record of each script and prepare and mail it, and what should be left out?
1916 US practice. Sargent says to record each story's title, character, the companies sent to and the disposal, preferably on a 3x5 card with Live, company, Accepted, Paid and Dead divisions; not to over-engineer it. For mailing he gives envelope, postage and address rules (to the company or its Editor, not a named person), says not to register ordinary mailings, not to write to the editor, and not to send a carbon or two copies at once. Receipts: he says no company's postcard binds it. His $40 two-reel card is an example, not a typical price.

Curator qualifications: Marketing, record-keeping, waiting and release-slip practice are verified as Sargent's 1916 trade advice. -04 correctly avoids legal conclusions about the release slip's partial copyright assignment.
