I've never counted either words or characters, but I've written what I was afraid was long long synopses and they went through o.k., and I've left in and added a bit to already-written long synopses. Maybe the rules changed? Well,maybe not. I checked three books--for some reason, maybe because the site is busy, I couldn't copy the synopsis from two of them, but the one I was able to coppy and paste so I could count the words was only 155 words--but 770 characters excluding spaces and 924 characters including spaces.
