June 29, 2018- I get a ton of manuscript submissions and one thing I usually ask for is a synopsis of the story. It saves me a ton of time and allows me to decide whether or not I want to see more of the manuscript; there is a problem though, a lot of authors drag out their synopsis and make it too long. When submitting your work to a publisher, ensure that your synopsis is NEVER longer than 1 page. If you can’t describe your work in 1 page, there’s a problem and you should go back and trim. The graphic below is a cool tool for authors wanting to submit. Good luck and Happy Writing!
