To Whom It May Concern -- An Open Letter to an Agent

So Day 4 of the 12-Day Plan of Simple Writing Exercises is as follows ::

Write a letter to an agent telling her how wonderful you are.

This was another one that actually gave me some issues in writing.  And not in the false modesty "Oh I can't do that!" kind of way either.  For me, and what I've always known about pitching oneself to an agent, you talk about your project as well as yourself, which can alter what you would say.  But I gave this a sporting chance...


 To Whom It May Concern --

You would be remiss to reject me as an author in your publishing stables.

I have been writing since I was seven years old, if not younger, and always had elaborate story worlds for my various characters.  I honed my craft with fanfiction, using the opportunity to work on introducing new characters into the established worlds, as well as taking established characters and plunking them down into new worlds.

This led to creating whole worlds of my own, like in my childhood, and populating them with new characters.

In addition to these fictional realms, I've delved extensively into poetry, oftentimes working with commonplace ideas in complex structures and vice versa.

I am working to expand my experience with creative nonfiction, as well, in an effort to be well-rounded and versatile.

Thank you.
