Dear Agent,
Remember the unpublished masterpiece Guerilla Operations North American Defense Squadron (G.O.N.A.D.S.) that I wrote and queried you for that one time? Well now you have the opportunity to represent not only that book that hasn't at all been published but also the new action packed sequel entitled BALTIC ALLIED LIGHTNING LIBERATION SQUADRON (B.A.L.L.S.) Join Duke Manchild, and Sheldon Steele as they form The Baltic Allied Lightning Liberation Squadron and tackle some hairy situations and bounce back and forth between exciting scenes of intense combat.
This time our heroes must struggle against the Jyhadist Oppressive Confederated Killers (J.O.C.K.) in their new tactical vehicle the Baltic Allied Lightning Liberation Squadron Strategical Armored Car and save Finland!
Baltic Allied Lightning Liberation Squadron is complete at 50,146 words exactly. It must be sold with that other book you didn't represent me on yet or the background stuff will be too confusing. Please contact me any time about this except on Thursday at 3 when I am in the makeshift dojo in my basement practicing my sai and nun-chuk skills.
Yours ever so truly,
Broseph McDude.

Dear Mr. McDude
Although your manuscript has some merit you clearly ignored our guidelines. We are very strict about word count and never accept anything over or under 50,140 words. However, if you'd be willing to do a major rewrite to meet our guidelines I'd be happy to take a look at your G.O.N.A.D.S and B.A.L.L.S.

I think I found a new signature... |

Dear Agent,
Remember I AM SURE YOU REMEMBER (why on earth would they forget?) the unpublished masterpiece Guerilla Operations North American Defense Squadron (G.O.N.A.D.S.) that I wrote and queried you for that one time? Well now you have the opportunity to represent not only that book that hasn't at all been published but also the new action packed sequel entitled BALTIC ALLIED LIGHTNING LIBERATION SQUADRON (B.A.L.L.S.) Join Duke Manchild, and Sheldon Steele as they form The Baltic Allied Lightning Liberation Squadron and tackle some hairy situations and bounce back and forth between exciting scenes of intense combat.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! This time our heroes must struggle against the Jyhadist Oppressive Confederated Killers (J.O.C.K.) in their new tactical vehicle the Baltic Allied Lightning Liberation Squadron Strategical Armored Car and save Finland! (THIS IS UNCLEAR...EXACTLY WHAT IS FINLAND'S PROBLEM?) Finland, due to their inability to protect the jewels of their ancestors, is under siege by the Conjoined Rabid Alliance of Breast Silicone. (C.R.A.B.S.)
Baltic Allied Lightning Liberation Squadron is complete at 50,146 words exactly...give or take one. It must be sold with that other book you didn't represent me on yet or the background stuff will be too confusing. Please contact me any time about this except on Thursday at 3 when I am in the makeshift dojo in my basement practicing my sai and nun-chuk skills.
Yours ever so truly,
Broseph McDude.
It is my sincere wish that, given proof of my editing skills, you will agree to a BETA READING switch with my latest manuscript: Sticky Tender and Dry (S.T.D.). thank you in advance |

A poem, which I would like to title "An ode to the family jewels of Finland"
Perhaps it would be best if
Revisions were
Observed through a double-blind,
Preventing any unwanted or
Harmful affects from possibly offensive
Yacking about this thing or that, a positively
Loquacious activity of
Aggressive and nonconstructive
Criticism.
The aforementioned double-blind would assure the privacy of any and all
Identities involved and promise a positive ideal of
Cooperation.

After I read this to her, my Mrs. said she's so happy I found people just like me. When I stop laughing, I'll decide how to take that.  |

Critiques should spur growth and improvement. Neither is painless.
I don't do personal attacks, defense/debate of work or grudges.
Remember, my comment's worth exactly what you paid for it. Use it, ignore it or PM-me and I'll remove it.
Buona fortuna!
