Dear Sir/Madam

I have recently embarked upon writing a cookery book based on many obscure recipes passed on to me by now diseased acquaintances in the Far East. I wonder if you would be interested in publishing such a book and I include a sample of said book for your perusal. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter.

All the best

Dear Rou

Thank you for the opportunity to consider publishing your manuscript.

Unfortunately your submission is not something we need for our list at the moment.

I would encourage you to consult the Australian Publishers Association website, The Australian Writer’s Marketplace (www.awmonline.com.au), the NSW Writers Centre (www.nswwriterscentre.org.au) or the Australian Society of Authors (www.asauthors.org) for publishers who would be able to accept your submission.

Kind regards,

Johnson Smyth | Publishing Coordinator | Murdoch Books Australia

Hello Smyth

Would it be possible to have some hints about what you do need for your list and I could write that instead? I’m very quick so it will definitely be done before Christmas and I've been told by several people including my friend Morris Baldwin (who is normally very critical) that my writing is "Step-tacular".

All the best
