This is such a kind comment...I wish you the best of luck. My experience is that these backwards-forwards approaches can be the most fruitful. You have already done a lot of the hard work by getting the right person to read your synopsis. Let me know what happens - gary@bubblecow.co.uk

Gary, I want to thank you for the excellent information you provide on your web site. You are generous with your knowledge, and it certainly reveals your expertise! I found you a few days ago when my husband accidentally connected with a leading publisher of books in the genre of a novel we wrote more than 10 years ago (and didn't know how to sell). The publisher asked for a synopsis, and said he would read it himself. We didn't have a synopsis yet! Using your tips and outline we spent two days crafting something and sent it off yesterday. It is a little non-standard, since we were asked to submit the synopsis through a referral, but the substance was still the same. Your site was easy to use, matter of fact, and felt spot on in terms of advice. We haven't had feedback yet, but if it should be positive, we will be thanking you for your help that you didn't even know you gave. Thanks!
