Compare Two Cover Letter Openings For A Screenwriting Fellowship

You have two opening paragraphs for a fellowship application and both sound fine, which is the actual problem, since fine does not get shortlisted. This compares them for voice, distinctiveness, and pull, then tells you which to send and what one line to steal from the other. For writers applying somewhere competitive with one shot at a strong first impression.

3. Assess which creates the strongest reason to keep reading the sample pages
4. Recommend one, with the single strongest line to keep from the other
