Guido my friend, You're ranting. <grin> I agree with you in principle, but it doesn't make sense to reject a book for lack of a synopsis. Coming up with a coherent short synopsis that is sufficiently short isn't always easy and can take some time. One thing that would really help would be if the web site were fixed to only allow 250 characters in that edit field. That way the book wouldn't have to be uploaded several times because of the stupid error about the synopsis being too long. I can imagine trying to write one three times and finally giving up in disgust. I've certainly had to write them three times before. I know I could use Word's wordcount feature, but that's such a production... Kellie
