Getting a Literary Agent
/
5 Comments
So, I'm taking the dive. I'm sending a novel to literary agents. You can't see the novel until it's published, obviously, but for now I'm gonna let you see the cover letter I sent out. I worked on this for days. I followed advice from Writer's Workshop and Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, and I constructed the perfect cover letter, shown below (click to enlarge).
I'm not expecting any rejections.

LOL! I'm so glad I found you on twitter....
ReplyDelete~Cheers from the Vegetarian Cannibal!
The header, so you're name and contact info on the right side of the page, is that the way it should be? So no address of the lit. agency? I've been googling examples and only came across American examples.
ReplyDeleteI'd give http://writersworkshop.co.uk/agents-advice.html a read. They *might* know a bit more than me.
ReplyDeleteHi Aaron, loved your cover letter. Hope you don't mind but I've copied it almost word for word (apart from what the novel's about) and used it to submit my MS to Curtis Brown. I'll let you know how I get on.
ReplyDeleteHa! For your sake, I hope that's not true. :D
