Dear [MR/MS] [RECIPIENT’S NAME], 

I have always dreamed of being part of your team after having read a lot of books published by your company. Now that you've opened the position for a developmental editor, I became optimistic and I'm sending you this letter to serve as my response to this job vacancy. I hope that this cover letter is worthy of your time and consideration.

Becoming an avid reader has honed my interest in writing long manuscripts. I started as a writer in one of the most renowned publishing companies in [New York City] and was later promoted to a junior editor position. I had senior editing responsibilities before I applied here, which I consider a good chance of becoming a developmental editor in your company. With a total of [6 years] in the publishing industry, I am confident that I possess the skills and expertise both in writing and editing a variety of content. What lies ahead of this application is my passion for the profession. 

You may refer to my resume for a chronology of experiences and exposure to writing and editing. I look forward to hearing a response from you, my contact information are made available below. Thank you very much. 

Respectfully,
