Nom de Plume

Dear Ms. Munshi,

We quite like your story, an economical zinger, and would like to publish it in an up-coming issue of BQ. We offer $150 for First North American Serial Rights and the right to use it on our website for up to a year once it’s published. We pay on or a little after publication and will send along a couple copies with the check.

At the moment our lead-time is about a year.

If these terms are suitable, please include the text of this email in your reply and let us know.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thank you for a tightly-written, intelligent jolt of a story.
