Dear Mrs Byrne,

RE: 'Egg Island

Your manuscript was brought to our attention at the latest Editorial Board meeting when we discussed the potential of its publication. Having read all the reports and taken note of the Editors’ opinions, we can confidently state that your work was found to be a most thrilling, absorbing, and attractive read that was very well-written and will certainly captivate a wide audience. The Board was very pleased with the intriguing plot, which was well-conceived and developed, alongside a fascinating cast of characters. We believe your work is very well-structured, allowing the story to build progressively and weave together the underlying messages included in your work, including the importance of engaging with new cultures and the centrality of home that are sure to resonate with many contemporary readers. The Board was keen to comment on the ambitious scope of the work and the engaging quality of the prose, which successfully delivered the reader into the strange and wonderful world of Egg Island and its inhabitants. Likewise, even though your work is temporally historical and spatially separate from our own, you have grounded the story with enough familiarity in the modern world that the reader can easily navigate the societies you have constructed, which is a testament to your abilities as a writer in establishing a scene. The story progresses to a satisfying conclusion that will leave readers discussing 'Egg Island' long after they have finished reading it and wondering what will happen to the survivors of Egg Island. The Board feels that your work would be a worthy addition to our collection of literature. Therefore, I take great pleasure in providing a contract for your perusal and your approval if you so decide.
