this was the letter I sent by the way...

Dear

FLUFFY LITTLE KITTEN

I am writing to you because I have written a short series of children’ picture books. They are aimed at very young children. They feature Fluffy Little Kitten, who suffers minor mishaps, but then resolves them.

I appreciate that it’s very hard to get a children’s book published and that many people delude themselves with books that only they like. I didn’t want to fall into that trap so I put a number of “rough” copies of the book on Ebay to find out if they would be well-received by strangers. Out of 114 copies sold, I received 99 positive comments (many of these are attached to this letter.) This positive feedback led me to believe that a publisher might be interested.

There are 6 books initially with a number more in the pipeline. They’re a bit bulky in manuscript form so I thought I’d send this letter in advance to see if you’d be interested in receiving the whole package. If you want more of a flavour of the books, you should visit fluffylittlekitten.com – although bear in mind that the image quality on the website is poor compared to the books (grainy Jpegs rather than the high res PDFs I use for print)

You can contact me at the address above, or try my phone line (it’s a daytime number) or email me on f.l.kitten@gmail.com.

If you’re able to reply, I’d be very grateful if you could let me know how to progress.

Yours,







Robert Bassett
