The first one being that I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If it isn't, I apologize, and please feel free to move it and give me a good lecture.
Anyway, I'm waiting to hear back from two places, an agency and a publishing house. When I sent them my manuscripts, I included, of course, an SASE. The address on it was my college mailbox, because this was sent at the very, very beginning of March, and I had hoped I would get a reply by now.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not being impatient because I know how long these processes sometimes take. But with the semester fast ending, I'm going to be packing up my things and going home soon, and if they send their reply to my school when I'm not here, it'll have to then be forwarded to my home address, a hassel I would like to avoid.
I've corresponded with both of them through e-mail several times, so within the next week or so I want to get in contact with both groups and let them know that I need to send them a new envelope if their reply won't be here by the 8th of May, when I leave for home. But I don't know how to word it to them so that it doesn't sound impatient or rude or unprofessional. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.
