Many magazines accept emailed queries nowadays--which means, they're often getting swamped with them.
I have heard that some editors, in an effort to sift the chaff, delete those queries that use free email addresses, like yahoo, gmail, sbcglobal, earthlink, verizon, and especially aol.
I can't verify this. (hey, if I could call up editors to chat and ask if this is true, why would I need to send queries out?) But it's definitely something to think about, and another good reason to get that website you've been promising yourself.
If there's any way to improve the odds of getting your queries read, do it!
