Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Tell us about yourself. All of our over-50 writers have led full lives before we meet them. We’re more interested in you as a person and less as a list of publications, and our editors enjoy your letters as much as your writing.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
We receive a lot of submissions on similar topics—loss, caring for a parent, declining health, war stories, and transitions from independence to home care, grandparenting—so there is more competition due to volume on those topics.
