Hi Mr Cornwell.

I’m a huge fan of the Sharpe series so thanks for all your stories over the years. I’m an aspiring author and your writings have served as an inspiration for writing the kind of fiction I would like to read. I’m sure you get dozens of these requests but I’m hoping you could advise me. My novel is set in Victorian London in 1851 with a broad cast of characters, set in a dock of my own invention.

What advise would you give to me re crafting a strong pitch?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for all your great stories.

Luke Smith
