An editor rants about short story cover letters...

It's really informative. If you're working with shorts and subbing them to market, you should check out this rant.

And just to remind people, if you're looking for short markets, there's no place like Submission Grinder.

That was a lot of words to tell new writers their cover letters should read:

Dear Editor,

Please consider “Traveling Back in Time to Kill Hitler” (SF, 3000 words).

Thank you.

Sincerely,
