I am happy to receive submissions, but due to the volume received, I’m afraid I cannot respond individually, so if you have not heard back in 12 weeks then please consider that a pass, with thanks.

While I appreciate there is a security in formatting your proposal using AI tools, I strongly recommend you avoid – I’m looking for voice and personality and I’m afraid I find none in AI-written or AI-aided covering emails. Additionally, I hope it goes without saying that I am not interested in receiving submissions that have used generative AI in their creation.
