Hello. I'm about to send proposals to the agents who have requested them after receiving my detailed query letter. What kind of information should my proposal's cover letter contain? This is what I have written:
Thank you for requesting my proposal for (book title).The enclosed proposal features an overview, a sample chapter, and an appendix with sample sidebars, illustration ideas, and relevant articles. I hope this proposal piques your interest and answers all of your questions. Feel free to contact me for more information. I appreciate your time and consideration.
I know, it looks skimpy, but is it sufficient, or do I need to add additional info? Is it necessary to summarize and market the book again or will the agent be satisfied finding that information within the proposal?
Thanks.
