Sample Book Pitch

Dear  ____,

Would you be interested in a copy of our upcoming book The Waste Land, by Simon Acland? In his first novel, Acland couples his knowledge of twelfth and thirteenth century French Grail romances, with a keen talent for storytelling. The Waste Land is a story-within-a-story, following both Hugh de Verdon – a monk-turned-knight during the First Crusade – and the author of his tale, who transforms Hugh’s medieval autobiography into a mass-market novel for the 21st century.

Historical Novels.info gave The Waste Land a positive review, calling it “a witty grail quest thriller with a difference… legendary entertainment indeed.”

Thanks for considering my request – I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,
