| Re: Synopses
One page is the standard in the UK... It helps to think in terms of *sell* (one line to one paragraph), *synopsis*, probably a page, *chapter breakdown*, which can run to three or four page.
The synopsis tells the agent (and then the publisher) what the book is about. It's not an advertisement and it's best to keep it factual rather than describe events as 'thrilling' or characters as 'moving and heroic'. |
