When writing your cover letter, be sure to list the word count for your manuscript. This is something that is important to editors as certain types of books and stories require different word counts.
List the ages that the manuscript was written for.
Talk briefly about why you wrote it. Did you have a similar experience? Do you really know the material you are writing about?
Be sure to include a short biography about yourself. If you get published, they could potentially use this to promote you.
Be polite -- this is important! You are sending them your manuscript to potentially publish.
AND – if you ever want to re-submit something in the future, that editor might remember if they did not have a favorable experience with you previously.
Remember to enclose a SASE and your manuscript.
