Hello,
This is a venture about losing a cat and finding yourself. Race, sexuality, love, marriage--and a main character who knows nothing and everything. "Eli Cat" will take you on an emotional and physical road trip; it'll make you hate your parents and miss your parents, and it will beckon you to find a home. Whatever, wherever that is.
Warmly,
janeVC

Dear Ms. VC,
Per our guidelines, your intro letter is actually part of the process that will allow or will not allow your capital an initial reading at TQR. Losing a cat to find yourself is a good hook, a clever juxtaposition of opposites for two disparate things. But then the continuation of this juxtaposing of extremes becomes a bit annoying in that the spectrum between polar opposites is so all-encompassing that repetition of this hook makes the sentences that follow it uninteresting.
Then the list of subjects to be covered in the tale starts with Race. I must tell you I am sick of discussions on race anymore. In the immortal words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" And, borrowing from another King, let me just say I have a dream, that one day capital ventures will not be judged by the color of their characters' skin, but the content of their characters' character.
Thank you for your interest in TQR. I hope I have not upset the apple cart so much that you would not consider giving us another go. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Dear Theodore,
This is incredibly funny. I like what I’m doing in this story, and also I appreciate your note on my pitch. I guess I never was a good businesswoman. But your humour here is great.
You’ll be hearing from me soon—this is an ego thing now.
Warmly,
janeVC

Excellent! Peruse the guidelines, as much as you can stomach of them next time around, and seize the day.
