I'm going to send cover letters in to publishers about a book I've written which is a humor book, pretty short, the type you'd find at an Urban Outfitters. The similar books that the publishers I'm sending the letters to have published mostly have illustrations and I envision mine would have that too.
I've read that you shouldn't supply your own illustrations because the publisher would like to hire a professional they're familiar with but in the cover letter, should I make note that I think my book should have illustrations or is it something that they would just determine on their own?
I was thinking of ending the cover letter with "[FONT="]I am obviously biased but I believe the book is humorous and, coupled with the proper illustration, will be a huge success.[/FONT][FONT="] Thank you for your time and consideration" but not sure if I should mention anything about illustration and should just thank them for their consideration. This is my first time so any help is appreciated. Thank you.
