Jane Doe 123 Main St. Los Angeles, CA 90056 November 29, 2012 Children’s House Publishing Ms. Joan Smith 2435 W. 1st St. New York, NY 10034 Dear Ms. Smith, I am writing in regards to my 2,000-word manuscript, tentatively titled, Sophia’s Cooking Class. Sophia’s Cooking Class is about a two-year-old girl, Sophia, who desperately wants to help her mother make dinner before her father gets home from work. However, everything that Sophia tries to do to help ends up causing a great big mess! Her mother is patient with her, but Sophia gets more and more frustrated. In the end, her mother explains to her that right now, there are things “mommies” can do and things that “Sophias” can do. One day she’ll be able to do everything that “mommies” can do, but right now she can only try to be the best Sophia she can be. Sophia cheers up, helps her mother clean the kitchen, and surprises her father with an art project instead! This book is geared toward one- to three-year-olds, and I have enclosed my manuscript for your perusal. I believe that Children’s House Publishing would be the best publishing house for this type of story because of your focus on books that help children who want to grow up too quickly. I also know that Children’s House Publishing strives to help unknown and first-time writers get their start. Although this is my first attempt at publishing a full book, I have had two of my short children’s stories published, “A Time to Play” and “A Time to Read,” published in The Literary Journal. I am extremely excited about this process and think that Children’s House Publishing would be a great home for Sophia’s Cooking Class. Thank you for your consideration! Sincerely, Jane Doe (818) 555-1234 jane.doe@mail.com
