Hi Cindy, I have seen "see long synopsis" in several synopses in books from the collection. Actually, I was not referring to the times when I write a synopsis, but rather when the submitter has written it, I find it to be too long and know Gustavo will kick it back, and try to remove part of it. I seem to have trouble with the edit field. I guess your suggestions would still apply though.

I tend to be wordy, as you must realize from my posts, so sometimes I have to cut and try to submit two or three times before my upload is accepted. I did see that someone recently just put in the short synopsis space "See long synopsis." smile Cindy --- siss52 <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > difficult to do on the site when I upload a book > with this problem.
