First, really great and informative site. I'm very glad I came across it and I'm hoping to become more of a contributor as I gain experience (hopefully I will be sharing insights into what worked rather than building a library of what hasn't but time will tell).
I'm a first time author with a completed and what I believe to be well worked over novel in the fiction/suspense genre.
Several agents seem to be requesting outlines in addition to other materials. The outlines I'm familiar with are from a writer's perspective and likely a lot longer and more detailed than what they are looking for (as compared to the length of a typical synopsis).
If anyone can pass along some insight into what exactly I should be submitting I'd be very grateful. Maybe 3-6 pages with a few bullets under each chapter? Maybe a short summary for each chapter? Is there an example anywhere on the web?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Chris
