Dear Agent,
I would be honoured to be respresented by (your agency). I have long been a follower of the XXX blog. Your love of MG has influenced my decision, since my current WIP is MG. I am submitting a picture book today called ROO ON THE ROOF.
ROO ON THE ROOF is a whimsical 417 word picture book, written in the style of BIG CHICKENS by Leslie Helakoski and ONE MONKEY TOO MANY by Jackie Koller French. Kangaroo and her friends are as hot as sizzling snakes one day at the zoo. They all rally round when Kangaroo finds herself stuck on a roof, but will she dare to climb down such a ridiculous line-up of animals? After a successful rescue, the keeper arrives on the scene to hose them all down.
I am a member of SCBWI, Canadian Chapter and I participate in an online critique group. My children’s play ‘Annabel and the Talking Flowers’ will be published soon in www.turtletrailsandtales.com and I have 3 poems going in the Static Poetry II anthology.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time. Please find the manuscript pasted below.
Sincerely
(okay I have to tell you I've deleted some lines out of the first para, this has already been sent to an agent. Wondering how bad it was to mention othe WIP, but it was only way I could say I picked her over other very good fit in same agency)
