Scope and content

This is the first time Child contacts Darley Anderson Books, seeking representation and enclosing three sample chapters and a synopsis. [No evidence of the synopsis that is referred to in the letter].

‘I’m writing to you because I’ve got a novel to sell […] I want to offer strong plots, tough characters, realistic action, fresh perspectives – all written in a way which is accessible to anybody, but with enough inherent style to satisfy readers who look for more.’
