New York Times Best-Selling Author, Kat MartinMarch 17, 2008Ms. Exalted EditorGonna-Sign-Ya BooksAddressAddressDear Ms. Editor,(Italics and indent)What happens when the Lucy Ricardo of the 14th Century meets the hero of the battle of Crecy?I've written a 90,000-word historical romance, Moment of Glory, and I'm looking for an editor. Moment of Glory has humor, drama, mystery, and has recently finaled in three contests. The second manuscript in the series, Moment of Passion, is also completed.(That's your info paragraph. Enough so the agent/editor knows what she's gonna read, how long it is, yadda yadda. Some people put it at the end. I like to know up-front, so that's how I send mine. Whatever floats yer boat. Your title should be in italics and bold.)(Next, I do a paragraph on each main character)Edlynne Wynterbourne is beautiful, clumsy, and nearsighted—and her pluck often leads her into perilous situations. Her father, the Earl of Sussex, orders her to wed a most vile man, while she wishes to wed for love. To escape this heinous fate she disguises herself as a peasant and embarks upon an adventure, but her father is close on her heels. Can she find the one who'll love her—not her wealth—before it’s too late?(Notice I used contractions, but also kept the flavor of the time with other words like vile, “perilous, etc.)Send your paragraphs when ya have em.
