You may ask yourself:

How can I submit it to publishers?
How can I present it?

Here comes the cover letter.

But what is a cover letter?

It's a letter that goes with your work. You can't send your work alone. You need to say something about it and about yourself in the cover letter.

This letter is very important as it is this document that will persuade prospective editors/publishers to read your work.

It's not difficult to write a cover letter, but you should be careful not to omit any essential info. If you don't do it right, you can't expect success.

• First write your name , address and contact number/Email on the right side of an A4 sheet.

• Next, write the editor/publisher's name and address on the left side, below your personal info.

• Write the date on the right side.

• Start with : Dear Mr./Ms. - name of publisher

• Now you can add the first paragraph. It goes like this:

  'I enclose the synopsis of my book/article and I wonder if you would be interested in it.'

• Give the publisher sufficient info about your book/article. Tell him in 1-2 lines the content of your book/article.

  e.g. Let us suppose you've written a book about Turtles.

  You can write:

  TURTLES is about keeping and caring for turtle pets indoors.

  Now you should tell him why the people are going to read such a book, and who is going to buy it. e.g. TURTLES is a pet book that would interest children from 8-16 years old, and all pet lovers as well. This book is original because it is written with children at that age in mind , and it is practical and easy to read.
