My first cover letter.

So, English agents prefer a cover letter to a query.

That's great, because it means they're going to start reading the book, rather than the query. That can't be bad.  I believe in my book. But it's bad because, well... I need to do this:

The fiction sound bite could include:
a. The heroic character
b. The central issue of the story
c. The heroic goal
d. The worthy adversary
e. Action
f. The ending
g. A grabber
h. Or a twist

40 words

 (Stolen shamelessly from here)

The above advice lays out what I need to say in 37 words, and says I can use 40 words to do it.  By my (high-end, super-duper) math skills, I've got three words left to sell the book.  Hmm, let's see...  My favourite three word pitches:

1 - Hello, I'm Ten-Tee.
2 - No Artificial Intelligence?
3 - Who said that?
4 - Boy meets girl.  (This may seem simple, but read the book, and you'll agree it's painfully cruel.)
5 - Everybody loves Packu!

I hate pitching the book without talking about Packu.  He's not important enough to make it into the pitches, but damn if he isn't the coolest.

Right, back to the grind.
