Master the Art of Submitting: The Secret to Thriving as a Writer Without Burning Out
Eventually, you won’t need to research anymore. When you write something, you’ll think, “I know where to send this.”
Another great practice is to create templates for everything. Have a basic cover letter ready with customizable sections. Mine goes like this:
Dear [genre-specific editor]
Thank you for taking the time to consider [Title] (word count). My bio is below.
(Personalized line or trigger warning — optional)
This is a simultaneous submission. I will withdraw it if I’m accepted elsewhere. Thank you for your time.
