Hello,
I have a problem; I've never written a cover letter before. Most of the submissions I've done have been online, not needing one.
I've read articles and things about what to include in a cover letter, but it doesn't make it any easier. Basically, the item I would be sending it for an area I've never worked in before (I'm typically an aduly crime writer, this happens to be a children's picture book, and no, no crime in it. )
I don't know what I should put in the cover letter, and I want to resist the 'Hi, I'm sending you tihs because I'm a parent and read a ton of children's books and I think this one is better.'
So, any help? Please?
