Recently, I wrote a cover letter for an essay I was submitting to a magazine. The writers guidelines asked that cover letters contain biographical information. Here is what I sent:
I was raised in Hawai'i by a mother who loves cats and wine and a father who loves big, impressive lies and surfing. They named me after a typewriter and soon were divorced. Now, I am an undergraduate student at the University of Oregon currently finishing a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and learning to pay bills on time. A collection of essays I have written is online at my blog, graphicaccountsofdateswithyourmother.blogspot.com, although that is probably the least important of the biographical details I have included.
Thoughts?
