What doesn’t belong in a cover letter/query for genre fiction submission: the author’s age, marital status, # of children. #pubtip
Editor
A query/submission cover letter should also mention the ms's genre/subgenre & word count, and the author’s publishing history. #pubtip
Editor
Other things I look for in a query/submission cover letter: a succinct blurb that conveys hook, main characters, conflict & stakes #pubtip
Editor
I love it when submission cover letters include recent comparable titles. That’s always very helpful! #pubtip
