They won't stand still for a long, drawn-out telling of it. They want to know why they would be interested in spending time with the story.<br /><br />Laila :<br />To write a synopsis is a true pain for me, too. Make it interesting. Make it primal.

There are agents who ask for a lengthy synopsis though. I know it's just part of the world of publishing, but I will admit that at times the rules get on my nerves. Still, if I'm to take a step out there I might as well conform. I'll need to check out that site. :)Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-20704455588908771672011-08-24T05:49:49.049-05:002011-08-24T05:49:49.049-05:00Hi Roland.

Lots more work needed, but I need to work on finishing the book first, ha ha.<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.com
