I know, but she seemed to be saying that Gustavo would kick a book back if
the short synopsis is too long, but if it is too long, the submitter can't
submit the book in the first place, So if the submitter can submit the
book, then that means the short synopsis is not too long, and Gustavo
wouldn't kick it back.

Evan,
Sue was talking about the short synopsis being too long. I've never had a problem with the long synopsis being too long, and you know from reading my posts that I can go on and on. smile--though I try to be releatively conscise but complete in my long synopses. I also add comments about the book there, like the fact that the spelling and punctuation are English rather than American, or that there is a lot of dialect, or the there is violence and profanity if I didn't rate the book adult. There are many books that don't deserve the Adult rating but that people who don't like books with a lot of profanity or vulgarisms prefer not to read. Also,since I don't validate indecices or bibliographies, I add my name and e-mail address in case anyone needing it wants me to.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The form will let a submitter enter a long synopsis that is too long? It certainly won't let you submit a book if the short synopsis is too long. I had that problem just last week. I would have thought it would give an error message if the long synopsis were above the 500-word limit. It probably should.
