| Re: Experienced help needed
Consider the synopsis a test of your writing skill -- your ability to get some complicated ideas across in a compelling way in as few words as possible.
And experienced editors usually can tell a lot from a relatively small sample -- that is their job. Of course the assistant editor probably isn't that experienced, but it's obvious that other more senior editors have been part of the process. (You might want to think about the fact that you don't have any trouble accepting that he/she could reach all those favorable conclusions from three chapters and a synopsis; it's just the negatives you doubt.) |
