I battled to make mine two pages and settled for two and a bit. 🙂

But then i realised that it looked so cramped because i’ve just changed the font to Times 12 point. where as my documents – on a Mac – automatically start on Helveltica – a larger font!
Good luck everyone with their subs xx

OTOH, she says, blowing casually on her nails … in my capacity as editor at Embrace Books, I got a requested revised full ms back from an author about a week ago, and today — sent her a contract!

Details to be announced soon. (I just love that part, being able to say YES!!)

So some of us are not being hampered by this cold weather, lol …

Good luck with yours. Jx

Julia – yeah, so true. Only thing worse than having to do a short synopsis is having to do a long one. 🙂

Suzanne – yay for you! Fingers crossed!

Hugs on the waiting. Here’s to good news soon.

Much longer than a couple of single spaced pages and I start to bore myself.
