Hello,
I'm applying for pt English Lit/Creative Writing PhDs at the moment and am unsure how to approach potential supervisors. What do I say in my e-mails?
Should I just write something like:
'Dear Prof X, I am applying for program Y and will be researching topic B. I noticed that you have published papers on the topic of X/have a background in V. My topic is on the X and feel that you are the best fit. I would be grateful if you could let me know if you are taking on any graduate students this year and if so, would be grateful if you could consider supervising my project. Many thanks for your time, X'
Thanks for all your help and suggestions
