thanks for the comments ellis...i havent sent out yet, as i am waiting formy friends to finish readng.
The reaso it seems fague is that there would be a covering letter to cover genre etc, the synopsis has to tell the story and show my writing style.
Thanks,
Hannah

Re: THE TIME Synopses (new version further down)
‘“Teri, you join that game you end up chasing and chasing until you’re the one who gets chased.”’ Teri’s father’s favourite expression suddenly has new meaning when she wakes from a drug induced sleep to find herself back in the Secret Departments after having been fired. Carter, the reason she was ...

Re: Query: SAW IT COMING (new ending paragraph)
This sounds like an AMAZING idea, let me know when it's published in the uk so I can read it!!!!
I also think the query sounds really good, concise, to the point, whilst giving me a real look into the story and the character. I think its pretty set and ready to go.
Good luck!

Re: Query - The Cacao Conspiracy
[quote="Bron"]Hi everyone, I've gone through a few draft of my query and this is the latest version. I've sent it to three agents and have received 2 Rs and a no response (it hasn't been long to be fair). I'm not sure whether the query is bad, or just not to their taste. What do you all th...

Re: What to do, what to do?

I think the advice given here is fantastic. But don't give up on something that is crying out to be w...

THE TIME revised version
New version further down!!! Hi again, I'm hoping this is better, though I'm uncertain about the genre now, I was sure it was YA asTeri is 25 an her friends in their twenties, but I feel the tone is suited to someone my own age (I'm seventeen) and believe it would appeal to fifteen years to mid twen...
