If ...I think a synoposis is a waste of time really. If I was an editor/agent I'd rather read the first page of the novel. Still, I suppose one must follow conventions. (Groan, groan - I know exactly what you mean about it being a complete pain in the arse.) My advice is keep it as short as pos, which gives the reader as little time as possible to get bored, and more time to get to the opening Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468858293961151587.post-74873500463662812642010-11-25T13:13:17.195-05:002010-11-25T13:13:17.195-05:00Charles: Most definitely.
