INTRODUCTION:
Dear Ms. Smith,
HOOK: Write about something interesting to grab the publisher’s attention.
Did you know that the city can be 12 degrees warmer than the suburbs surrounding it? It can and I know why.
STORY: Give the details of your story/article: word length, title, how it fits them, etc.
My 500-word article called "The Hot City" describes the effect known as the Urban Heat Island. I am submitting it to you because Tree House Junior is my favorite magazine and I think this article would fit in nicely.
YOU: Tell about yourself and why you wrote it.
I am a 4th grade student at Big Knob Elementary who loves to write. This idea came to me while I was playing baseball last summer because it was a lot hotter at the field when I got out of the car than it was at home and I wanted to know why. I have been published once before by Tree House Senior.
CONCLUSION: Thank them and explain how to reply
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please use the SASE for your reply.
Sincerely,
Sign Your Name
Joe Grubby
