"The full manuscript is available at your request," is standard. <br /><br />I think you can leave out some of the info about what's in the stores. If a publisher is willing to buy a Bible story, they probably know what's out there. I'd only keep in the first person account part. In fact, you can attach that to the previous paragraph.<br /><br />I like your last question in the first paragraph, but I'd change the previous one to a phrase instead of a question. "Meshach is furious..." (or whatever the emotion is). <br /><br />Good luck!Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-84191690384242951692011-04-26T17:45:31.189-04:002011-04-26T17:45:31.189-04:00nice read therenice read thereBTN Hip Hophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471159044833796492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-11599084667351525152011-04-26T17:29:52.571-04:002011-04-26T17:29:52.571-04:00I think it sounds very good.

(And as a parent I'm eager to see this in print!)<br />You show that you've read lots of other books in your genre and you have something new to offer. <br /><br />Only one little thing- the last line about having a copy by May 9: Shouldn't you have it prepared to send already before you query? Maybe it's different for picture books, but I thought that was always the case. <br /><br /> I hope you get it published! :)Amanda Borenstadthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061109442550378113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-15036943819912722962011-04-26T15:07:16.471-04:002011-04-26T15:07:16.471-04:00Just popping in to say hi and looking forward to t...Just popping in to say hi and looking forward to tomorrow.<br /><br />I have two blogs:<br />the first is book reviews, health and fitness posts, and devotional insights<br />http://jennywidner.blogspot.com/ Jumbled Jots by Jenny<br /><br />in the second I address issues relating to self-esteem and bullying<br />http://jennyrosewriter.blogspot.com/ Creatively Loving Kids by Jenny RoseJenny Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284174094018616648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-85302591079629723972011-04-26T13:22:13.803-04:002011-04-26T13:22:13.803-04:00i know absolutely nothing about PB's...so i...i know absolutely nothing about PB's...so i'm looking forward to reading all the advice.<br /><br />good luck!Amie Borsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303337229388844182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-87223556183414872612011-04-26T12:22:55.520-04:002011-04-26T12:22:55.520-04:00I just remembered that I forgot to pop back on Fri...I just remembered that I forgot to pop back on Friday!
