Dear Marla,

It was a pleasure to meet you at the Writers’ Conference in San
Diego. Thank you for your feedback on my query letter and the tip to
pitch my literary novel, A Tangible Moment, to Betsy Amster. I’ve
visited your website, Marketing the Muse, and am dizzy at the
possibilities. Thank you for blazing the way.

Warm Regards,

Melissa Fischer
