Editor’s Note

You’re ready to submit your story, essay, or poem, but the lit mag is asking for a cover letter and bio. What is that? How do you write one? Our Lit Mag Submission Kit is a free, practical guide to writing your cover letter and bio for literary magazine submissions. It’s compiled by editors who read hundreds of them every month. And did we mention that it’s free?

You’ll get:

  • What to include (and what to leave out) in your cover letter and bio
  • Templates for prose and poetry
  • Templates for short and long bios
  • And all the examples and tips you need to get started.

Just enter your email below to download the submission kit. (Check your spam folder if you haven’t received the download link.)

You’ll also be subscribed to the Glossy Planet newsletter, where you’ll learn about our monthly writing challenges ($1,300 total awarded!), winning work, craft articles, and more.
