I don’t get why some submitters want to talk about themselves so much in their cover letters (multiple paragraphs) (like people should care) rather than talking about their writing. …and even that. Why the big build up? Brevity must be an exciting new concept for you. And the hype almost never justifies the displayed product. Also, credentials aren’t hype. They’re accomplishments.
Here’s your bonus tip: If you don’t know how to write a cover letter, why should I have any confidence that you can write a story? Doesn’t make any sense. Immediate decline.
