Hi everyone.
ETA: It's now half an hour later, and I retain no illusion that I can leave my submission package as is. This was just the kick in the pants I needed. Thank you, wise AWers!
I'm just about ready to start querying, having completed the manuscript, synopsis and query. However, as I dusted off my query, which I wrote way back in the summer (I think it was), I noticed that Wait – this includes a subplot that I cut from the synopsis in favour of clarity and brevity. The synopsis is still 1000 words, and was very difficult for me to write.
My question: If you received a query that presented a certain subplot, but then the synopsis didn't include that subplot, what would you think? Would it be a problem?
I had to cut quite a bit of plot from my synopsis (and I think that's okay), but now I have this query letter that kind of presents the book from a different angle.
You may see me in QLH once again but I'm kind of hoping not.
