I haven't seen the book yet, but i read a review yesterday, and it got real poor ratings! So i was having my doubts whether to buy it or not.

Congratulations!!!! This site has certainly helped me a lot!!

You should just email your query to her... you could just explain the mistake you made. Personally i don't think you even need to wait before doing that.

Hey BlancheKing,

Thanks a LOT for your feedback. I know the synopsis totally sucks :P so the harsher the feedback, the more i learn and can try and make it better!!!

Sorry i couldn't reply sooner - been holidaying :D Just got back yesterday!

I really can't understand how to summarize a book of 60,000 words into 2 pages. And i struggled to do mine. I've been using this synopsis so far, but i'm not happy with it myself. And i can't seem to edit it further. I'm on a total block. My story involves a lot of plots - so I've only stuck to the ...

Oh yay... that's a good update :D Good luck!

I'm 23... started writing songs when i was 8. Took a break from writing (unintentionally) from when i was 19 to 23. Now i'm back to it - from the past 2 months or so - and gone on to write a complete novel... not just songs and poetry anymore! :) Feels good!
