ER's book proposal, redux
(In reference to this.)
In my e-mail box just now! Woo!
Dear Mr. Redneck:
Thank you very much for submitting your proposal for (Catchy Book Title) to (Academic Press). Your project sounds interesting and I enjoyed reading the sample chapters. However, in order to get a better understanding of you how deal with and analyze the (Book Topic) I would appreciate receiving one or two further sample chapters from the main body of the manuscript.
I look forward to reading the additional materials and wish you a nice day.
Acquisitions Editor
Woo! And again, I say, Woo!

(whose excitement is tempered by his personal acquaintanceship with someone who got all the way *past* the formal outside review stage and *still* ultimately had her manuscript rejected. But hey, anything beats "no thanks"!)

Proud of you, dude! Maybe this is the year for that history book that will become a best-seller and free you to write all the time!
Thanks, Tech. Alas, history writers don't get to retire on the meager returns from book writing! :-)
