SEEKING REPRESENTATION

Dear Agent or Publisher,

Thank you for giving The Voyage of the Albatross a look!

Because the book is a rather odd bird – a 117-page(!), 3400-word picture book for ages 7 to 12, somewhat older than the typical picture book reader – I suspected it might be a tough sell to agents and publishers.

So my original intent was to self-publish. I had gotten to the point of creating a small number of sample hardcovers when I received the starred review from Kirkus and decided to change course and cast out my line to you. 

The book remains unpublished, with no release date and no ISBN.

I would be delighted to mail you a copy of the book, and/or provide you a complete PDF. My contact info is below.

Thank you for your consideration.
