In our eleven years of experience in this industry we have many customers, their letters with great success.

Your letter should follow the guidelines of the industry. There should be one page, and it must be the editor / agent contact. It may not a paragraph of biographical writing, if your login information and we must grateful to the editor or agent of his time. You can also use some personal information, to draw the attention of the editor or agent, for example: “I live in a 200 year old history of words The Edge of a forest.”

For short prose and poetry: a short letter of prose and poetry. It contains the title of the work in addition to some biographical information. In a letter to a master of your work that are professionally prepared (again, industry standards).
