Have you ever spent longer on the cover letter than on the last revision of the paper itself? Do you copy an old one, change the journal name, and hope the editor does not notice? Journal Cover Letter Draft writes that letter properly, in the short, direct form editors are used to reading.
Short answer: Journal Cover Letter Draft, one of the free writing tools on EizTools, produces the letter accompanying a manuscript submission, stating what the paper shows, why it fits the journal, and the standard author declarations.
What is Journal Cover Letter Draft?
It is a letter writer tuned for manuscript submission. You give it the paper's title, its main finding and the journal you are targeting, and it returns a letter of a few short paragraphs: what you are submitting, why it matters, why this journal, and the declarations about originality and prior submission.
What Editors Read First
An editor decides quickly whether a paper goes out for review. The letter is read for a few things only:
- ✅ What the study found, in one sentence a non specialist can follow
- ✅ Why the finding belongs in this journal rather than any journal
- ✅ Confirmation the work is original and not under review elsewhere
- ✅ Anything procedural: preprints, related submissions, suggested reviewers
Everything else is padding, and padding is what makes a letter read as recycled.
How Does Journal Cover Letter Draft Work?
Type the paper details into the prompt box, then set an engine and expand the options accordion under it. Press generate and the letter appears in the output card, short enough that its reading time pill should say one minute.
Copy it straight into the submission system, or download it as Word if the portal wants a file upload. Session history holds each run, so letters for your first choice journal and your backup can be drafted in one sitting and both kept.
Tone, Length And Recipient Settings
| Option | What it controls | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Size of the finished letter | Short (150-250w), which is where most journals sit |
| Tone | Warmth of the wording | Formal, with Diplomatic for a resubmission |
| Formality | Overall register | Business, the closest fit to academic correspondence |
| Recipient | Who the letter addresses | Individual, because you write to a named editor |
Four toggles handle the furniture: Include Formal Greeting, Include Formal Sign-off, Include Contact Info and Include Enclosures Note. Keep the greeting and sign-off on. The enclosures note is worth switching on when you are submitting supplementary files. An Assertiveness slider sits underneath, and the middle of its range suits a first submission.
Name the editor Put the editor's name and the journal's scope statement into Custom Instructions. A letter that quotes back what the journal says it publishes reads as written for them, because it was.
The right length
Length presets keep the letter to a screen, which is as much as an editor will read.
Declarations included
Originality and prior submission statements are drafted in, not left for you to remember.
One letter per journal
Regenerate for a different target instead of editing a letter that still names the old one.

If your abstract needs condensing into the one line summary the letter opens with, the Text Summarizer does that, and more options sit in the writing tools category.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a cover letter be?
Usually under a page. The Short setting produces roughly 150 to 250 words, which covers the finding, the fit and the declarations without asking an editor for more attention than they will give.
Can it write a resubmission letter?
Yes. Say in the prompt that this is a resubmission and summarise what changed. Setting Tone to Diplomatic keeps the letter courteous while it explains how you addressed the earlier review.
Should I suggest reviewers in the letter?
Only if the journal asks. If it does, name them in the prompt with a line on their relevance, and Journal Cover Letter Draft will place the suggestion near the end of the letter.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no credit counter and no daily quota. Draft a letter for every journal on your shortlist and download the ones you want to keep as TXT, Word or HTML.
A cover letter will not rescue a weak paper, but a lazy one can cost a good paper its first read. The version that works is short, specific to the journal, and honest about what the study shows.
