Dear Jordan Blake,
I am seeking representation for my science fiction novel, The Starlight Paradox, complete at 92,000 words. The Starlight Paradox is a fast-paced space opera that explores humanity’s survival amidst intergalactic conflict and would appeal to fans of The Expanse and Dune.
The story follows Captain Lyra Morgan, a renegade starship pilot haunted by her past. When she discovers a cryptic distress signal from a forbidden sector of the galaxy, she inadvertently triggers a power struggle between ancient alien forces and Earth’s ruling technocracy. As Lyra grapples with betrayal, alliances, and the secrets of her own identity, she must risk everything to prevent the annihilation of human civilization.
I am a lifelong science fiction enthusiast and an award-winning author of speculative short stories, with works published in Future Chronicles and Cosmic Tales Quarterly. My background in astrophysics has provided me with a strong foundation to craft realistic and immersive interstellar settings.
I have included the first 10 pages of the manuscript, per your submission guidelines, and would be thrilled to provide the full manuscript for your review.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
