In your e-mail

– Explain why other people would be interested too
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir/Madam,
As a regular customer of your bookshop I enjoy attending the talks and discussions that you hold from time to time. I would like to make one particular recommendation. I believe that local crime writer, T.J. Thompson, would be an excellent choice for the reasons that O will now outline.
Firstly, he is a loyal author and so is of immediate interest to all those will be attending. Home-grown talent is a welcome novelty in these times where the local author is in danger of being crowded out by internationally bestselling authors.
Secondly, being a local author, T.J. Thompson will already have a considerable readership amongst the town’s residents and is likely to attract a good audience. This of course would be of mutual benefit to both the author and your bookshop, since it is an opportunity to promote the author’s mist recent works and boost sales as a result.
Finally, I think that the presence of a well-established local author will encourage talent. I hope that you will consider my recommendation.
Yours faithfully,
