Yeah, I know, but the short synopsis is the more visible of the two, so I try hard to say something meaningful in that small space.

That's why there's the long synopsis--500 words. smile I've gone on and on in the long synopsis and not been cut off. I started to count some I'd done and found that, although I thought they were more than 500 words, they were way under.

I've wished for that more than once myself. It can be a challenge to convey to people very much meaningful about a book in 200 characters or less.

Perhaps Maithe was confusing the short with the long synopsis, which says 500 words or less. I've just looked at the submit form, and it does indeed say 200 characters or less. Seems to be in order.

I now calculate...every word counts as ten characters...no matter what! The confusing thing on the form was that it said 200 "WORDS" and not 200 "characters". They might have to change the wording a bit.
