I have been (tentatively) thinking of sending out my work into the big wide world. I keep coming across this, both for agents and publishers:
"As attachments to the email please prepare a short synopsis (maximum 2 pages) and the first 3 chapters of your manuscript. If your chapters are short and you would like to submit more material we are happy to look at the first 50 pages. Please attach these as two separate documents, in Word or Pdf format."
What is the best advice for a synopsis? (and really sorry if this has been asked before). Getting an 80,000 word novel down to 2 pages seems a little daunting. To me it would kind of just be, and this happened, then this, then that...
I would assume the synopsis would have to be engaging and show you can write at the same time
TIA
