You may be right about shorter emails being better, I was linking to her post mainly to support my contention that mass emails are a bad idea. Personally, I'd say the most important thing is to read and follow any submission policies/rules the blogger has. You're asking the blogger to take the time to read your book, the least you can do is spend five minutes reading their submission policy.
