Dear ____,
Thank you for your kind comments on my novel, “Dead Stop,” and for inviting me to submit future works. You might be interested in my young adult fantasy novel, “Shifter,” about a young girl who may or may not be an ancient shape shifter with legendary powers.
Everyone tells Isabel that she is the Shifter – the powerful shape-shifting creature who has protected the kings of Samorna for centuries. They need her to be the Shifter. Prince Rokan risked everything when he rode into her forest to summon her to his side; Dakkin, the handsome magician’s apprentice, has devoted his life to studying her legend; and even Princess Clarisse, who fears and hates her, depends on Isabel’s powers to further her own plans.
But Isabel doesn’t feel like the Shifter. She feels like a lonely and powerless sixteen year-old girl, beset by flashes of memory that do more to confuse than to help her. As she is drawn deeper into a web of magic and conspiracy, she will have no choice but to look for answers. But her search will lead her to the one question the Shifter hasn’t faced in a thousand years: where does she come from, and what does she really want?
Enclosed are the first two chapters of “Shifter.” The complete manuscript runs runs 301 pages and approximately 70,400 words. May I send it to you?
Also enclosed is a self-addressed, stamped envelope, for your reply. This is a simultaneous submission.
Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Leah
