Cover letter
Cover letters aren’t required, but are welcome. If you send a cover letter, please tell us what we need to know about you in order to meet your work on its own terms—we care a lot more about your identity and where you’re coming from than we care about your credentials or accolades. And we would love to know how you found us!
