Dear Ms. Green,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inquire whether you might be interested in representing my manuscript, The Last Ember, a speculative fiction novel complete at 95,000 words. Based on your work with science fiction authors such as Marcus Vale and Linnea Clark, I believe my book would be a great fit for your list.
The Last Ember follows Ryker Adler, a former soldier living in a post-apocalyptic world where the Earth’s resources are running out. Set in the year 2150, humanity has retreated into isolated, self-sustaining cities, and Ryker, haunted by a tragic past, is struggling to survive in a fractured society. When he stumbles upon a long-forgotten technology that could reignite the planet’s dying ecosystems, Ryker is thrust into a high-stakes race against both corporate factions and rogue survivalists, all while grappling with his moral dilemmas.
The novel explores themes of environmental destruction, the ethics of technological advancement, and the power of human resilience. As Ryker embarks on his journey to revive the Earth, he must confront not only external enemies but also the ghosts of his past, ultimately discovering that hope lies in unexpected places.
I have included a brief synopsis of the book below and would be delighted to send the full manuscript upon your request.
Thank you for considering my work. I would be thrilled to discuss how The Last Ember could be a valuable addition to your roster. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
