Before you reply to any offer
A checklist for the margin.
- Which lines are gifts, which are earned, which are borrowed?
- What do I have to do to keep each award next year?
- What is the reply deadline, and who set it?
- Did I take every date from an official source?
- Do I know who to ask if a line is unclear?
- Has anyone asked me to pay a fee or hurry?
