1. Share your google doc with the Lit Mag and with me.
2. In the e-mail that accompanies your attachment, include your name and your first period teacher. You should also include a brief summary of your piece and an explanation of why your piece is a good fit for the Lit Mag.
3. Proofread like crazy. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are particularly important in a cover letter.
Here's an example:
Dear Editors,
My name is Ed Kline, and my first period teacher is Mr. Kline. I have shared my essay, "Why Do We Have To Do This?" for your consideration. This essay is a thoughtful exploration of the ridiculous things teachers ask us to do and a righteous challenge to their arbitrary authority. The students of OCHS will appreciate this essay for its candor and its accurate depiction of our daily miseries.
Please let me know if you have any difficulties opening the doc.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Ed Kline
