Journal Cover Letters

Recommended Posts

Having found mixed advice online mainly targeted toward scientists, I was wondering how people approach writing cover letters to journals. In the past, I've written out full-length, four-paragraph documents that take me several days to perfect. Is this necessary? How do you structure your cover letters?

"Dear editor,

*** yes, for the first submission.

If you do get a revise and resubmit, it'll be an actual letter which you summarize your changes in response to the readers' comments (and justification for the lack thereof).
