Hi, Scott. After I got that irritating error that never told me what the
problem actually was, and when I did figure out it was my short synopsis,
that's what I've been doing ever since, too. It just irritates me, and I
still think the error should be more specific so people don't go through
that same irritation, not knowing why their submissions aren't going
through. Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a tip on the short synopsis
Hey all,
I just wanted to throw this suggestion out to anybody on the list. I've
seen the occasional mention of people encountering difficulties because
their short synopsis was too long.
What I have been doing is writing my synopsis in MS Word, then accessing the
word count feature off of the tools menu. This handy little dialog box
shows you the number of words, characters, lines, etc. Obviously the only
critical statistic would be the number of characters. Then I select the
text and copy it to the clipboard, return to the Bookshare page, and paste
the text into the synopsis edit box.
My friends have told me that I have a very meticulous, and on occasion
obsessive, personality. I suppose this is one example that might qualify,
but I hope it might help someone.
Scott
