Ah Teresa, (he said reeling out a little line).
Then from what you say this synopsis business is possibly the most important part of the whole project of writing a book.
If this is the case it sounds like synopsis critique should have it's own subsection in aspiring writers so that we can make suggestions.
I hope you agree. It seems a shame to spend all this effort over the actual plot only to have it die a death because the writer didn't get it together in the synopsis phase. We wouldn't need to see the whole work we would be giving impressions as above.
Now,,,, who do we know that could perhaps influence the powers that this might happen.
