Dear Jamie Smith,

I am writing to introduce my debut science fiction novel, Echoes of Tomorrow, complete at 95,000 words. With a blend of speculative technology, gripping suspense, and deeply human characters, this story will appeal to fans of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.

Set in the year 2180, Echoes of Tomorrow follows Dr. Lila Sanderson, an outcast astrophysicist who discovers an anomaly in the Andromeda galaxy—an encoded message that appears to be a warning. As Lila races against time to decode the signal, she uncovers secrets that threaten humanity's fragile existence and must decide whether to reveal the truth or protect the status quo at great personal cost.

The novel explores themes of resilience, ethical dilemmas in technology, and the enduring power of human connection. I believe its emotionally charged narrative and richly imagined world-building will resonate with readers seeking intellectually stimulating and heartwarming stories.

I hold a Master’s degree in Astrophysics and have published short stories in Future Horizons and Galactic Anthologies. My work has received recognition in the 2050 Stellar Fiction Awards, where I was a finalist for Best Short Story.

Enclosed, please find the first 10 pages of Echoes of Tomorrow as per your submission guidelines. I would be delighted to provide the full manuscript upon request.

Thank you for considering Echoes of Tomorrow. I admire the innovative voices you champion at FutureReads and would be thrilled to discuss how this story could align with your vision.

Warm regards,
