submission cover letter AGAIN YES!!!

by Paul Garside
4th June 2015

Thank you to all who read commented and made suggestions about my agents submission letter. I have taken the comments seriously and done some work, if anyone gets the chance please take a look and let me know where it falls down. I have put the same letter on twice but the second minus one para. I think maybe that is the better one but you will know which is worse! thanks in advance Paul G.

We all need hope. I have just changed the letter, for some reason I kept missing the pointer to the writing seeking bit but I have corrected that now. Thanks. Paul

Ah yes, because it's such a subjective business. Though it did amuse me how someone misspelt his name and one didn't even mention their book! It gives me hope at least :)

Thanks, by the way Ellen, I did take a look at the video. Very helpful, it seems the more you find out the less you know, if you see what I mean. Paul
