Ooh I’m up on the podium with Daed 🙂
It feels like a long time since we wrote the book now and it’s great that it’s on it’s way for public consumption now.
And thanks, Raine. All signal boosting much appreciated.

I didn’t know that mentioning other agents by name was a no-no. How did you find out? Did they tell you?

I was already signed up to shortstops but I’m quite happy for people to post things that they see here too, even if they are duplicated elsewhere – I often miss things in the email list and it helps to have reinforcement

Thanks for this Raine. I’d seen notifications about the Kickstarter but completely missed that they were doing an open call as well

Ha! Point taken. I will assume nothing and you can all shout at me if I say something you definitely do know about.

As requested, here is a copy of the cover letter I used on submission. It wasn’t actually the version I sent my now-agent Sarah Manning back in 2016, because I didn’t even know to write a proper cover letter the first time I went to FoW, but this is the one I was using when I formally submitted to agents in 2017.
