When querying agents and publishers, some have had very specific lengths they wished to see in a synopsis. Most often what I see requested is one to two pages single spaced.

When I write synopses--yes, plural--I go for multiple lengths specifically so I'll have something quite close to whatever an agent or editors wants already complete.

All single spaced: 1 page, 3-5 pages, 8-10 pages, with corresponding amounts of detail.

So far nobody's ever seen the long one.

Maryn, who may skip it next time
