How to create a cover letter for a book? Is that the same as a query letter?

We Answered:

Ideally, you would send a query letter to a publisher or agent. They would tell you they want to see your book proposal. Then you would send your manuscript WITH a cover letter. The point of the cover letter is to remind them that they asked to see this manuscript.

So, no, a cover letter and query letter are two different things.

Hilda Said:

how do you create a cover letter to apply for a dance position via email?

We Answered:

Just like you would if you were going to hand them a hard copy.

You would type out the letter in Microsoft Word or Works Processor.

Save the file to your desktop in .rtf format (.rtf will allow someone to open it more easily) for easy retrieval

Open up your "professional" email account. (Example: if your name is Linda Row your email should be something like lrow@yahoo.com, don't use an account like tinydancer69@yahoo.com...that just wouldn't be appropriate)

Attach the file to your email. In the body of the email say something like:

Dear Mr./Ms ___________,

Attached you will find my cover letter and resume for consideration (you may want to go into what exactly you want to be considered for, they may have multiple openings). Please confirm successful receipt of my e-mail. Should you have any problems opening up the attachment please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
(Your Name)

How to create a cover letter?

We Answered:

1. All cover letters should follow the cover letter format, that is, you must format the heading elements correctly. When sending your resume via email, the line spacing and address conventions may no longer apply, although, they do in paper cover letters.

2. The First Paragraph. This part should immediately tell your recipient how you learned about the job opening, your intent, the position you are applying, or if you are inquiring about future employment possibilities.

3. Second Paragraph. An effective cover letter would have the second paragraph explain and highlight your experience relevant to the job you are applying for. This part calls to action your background elements, particularly your education, experience, and leadership which are relevant to the position you are applying. Be sure to cite examples and strong evidences.

4. Reflect your attitude, such as your personality, motivation, enthusiasm, and communication skills.

5. The best cover letter is coherent with the resume. For paper cover letters, use the same paper quality as your resume. But the general rule is to make it visually attractive.

6. Provide any information that the job advertisement specifically requested which is not covered in your resume, including your availability date, or reference to an attached writing sample.

7. Make the first sentence of the second paragraph hard-hitting - make it a quick introduction of your accomplishments directed at the qualifications and skills the job/industry requires.

8. Make your cover letter (and yourself, that is) more enticing to your prospective employers, by presenting facts that would interest them in hiring, or at least, interviewing you, such as your ability to increase profits, save money, conserve time, to immediately discharge or assume responsibility, and rapidly produce results when hired.

9. Be proactive by indicating that you will do a follow-up. This will show your deep interest to your job application, by saying something like, "I will contact you in the next two week to see if you require any additional information regarding my qualifications."

10. Make the last paragraph count. In the final sentences, use call-to-action and always request for an interview. Also thank the reader for reading your cover letter and looking into your resume.
