Cover Letter For Submissions

Michelle Cheever once won Seventeen Magazine's Fiction Contest, just like Lorrie Moore! Except, Cheever got second place, and Moore won first. The year the contests occurred were different as well.

Cheever is a senior Writing, Literature, and Publishing major at Emerson College, and is excited to graduate so that professors will stop being disappointed when they find out she's not related to the John Cheever.

Aside from an apparent love for name-dropping, Michelle Cheever enjoys procrasti-baking, looking like people's exgirlfriends, and the idea of tea.

Her story in the Emerson Review was nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

Thank you for your consideration.

You may find that Cheever is skilled at dialogue. This is probably because sometimes she has conversations and remembers what they were like.
