It is indeed 500 words, not 500 characters.

I thought the long synopsis was 500 words not 500 characters. I know it was less then 500 words as I used Kurzweil to write and count the words. ----- Original Message ----- From: Monica Willyard To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 11:58 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: America Alone. Hi, Duane. No, there's no need to rewrite the synopsis. I found a natural stopping point just at the limit of the characters the Bookshare form will allow. It has a 500-character limit for the long synopsis. I thought that was a shame because I really like what you wrote and wanted to use the whole thing. The book is resting securely in the admin queue awaiting Claire's attention. (smile) Monica Willyard
