Guest blogger Gordon VanGelder on personalizing your query or submission.
When I was editing books for St. Martin's Press, here’s some advice I used to give writers:
When you submit a book or proposal to an editor or agent, it's great if you say something in your cover letter like, "I saw you edited/represented this other book and I thought you might like mine." Not only does it separate you from the rest of the pack by indicating that you've actually read a book, but it also shows that you have some awareness of and respect for their work.
