Step 1 Pick your 2 editors and 1 alternate.
But how? Look at their wishlists at http://www.reviseresub.com/editors to narrow it down.
From there, look at their answers to the questions and check out their Twitter feeds and websites to get an idea of what they're like. #RevPit 2/

Check out their #RevPit #AskEditor feed by searching Twitter.
For example, searching " @jenichappelle #RevPit #AskEditor" will show you mine.
If you still have other questions, feel free to ask! 3/

The alternate will only receive your sub if one of your first choices caps. There is a cap of 100 entries per editor, so if it's super important to get your first choices, plan to sub as early as possible. Several editors reach their cap every year. #RevPit 4/
