| Re: Synopsis - questions
I find that publishers sometimes want them because of the power and involvement of the Sales and Marketing Directors now - far greater than it was ten years ago - so they can give them a digest and the poor souls don't have to read an entire book!
Then, if they are considering a new novelist, as long as the editor can also make comparison with two or three recently successful writers in the same area of the genre, there's a chance that the Sales guys will allow you to make an offer. |
