Hi Mary,

On covers I have a question as well.  When you talk a cover I am assuming it
has the title and author is there supposed to be anything else on that page?

Hi Debby,

The jacket flaps or back cover are fine for long synopsis material.  You're
right.  Just no reviews.  No worries.

Hi Evan, Gary and everyone!

I thought the only rule about the long synopsis is that we are not allowed
to grab a publisher's review from Amazon or any place like that.  Am I
right?

I use at least some of the jacket or back cover information for my long
synopses, because it often gives a good description of what the book is
about.
