$0.15 per word ($45 for a 300-word synopsis, etc.)
Most writers dread creating a synopsis but some agents and editors require them. In the long run, they are extremely helpful in seeing the big picture.
I help you make certain it contains all the right plot points, character information, and needed details.
Important Note for all Extras:
I only work in Microsoft Word since it is easiest to maintain the standard manuscript formatting. I do not make exceptions. All project work must be submitted according to the formatting guidelines below, which averages to about 250-300 words per page and requires the following specifications:
Letter-sized paper
Times New Roman font
12-point font size
Double-spaced text
One-inch margins
