Hi,
There's this great literary agent I found. Actually amazing, matches my manuscript well (or at least I think so...). On the website it asks for a synopsis of 500 words or fewer.
I don't think I can do this. My story is quite complex, and a synopsis wouldn't make sense without certain details. Cutting back 'unnecessary' words leaves me with 763 words. What should I do? I've been sitting here for the past hour going through several shorter drafts and they just don't match when compared to the actual MS.
Should I send what I have, or just keep trying to cut it back? Would it be better to send a longer synopsis which is easier to follow or the 500 they ask for that would get slightly confusing?
Thanks for your time.
