What a clear and sensible article!

Yes, some interesting insights - although interesting that she likes synopses less than 500 words that don't reveal the ending - aarghh! That's enough to put me off subbing to her, the thought of having to write that beast again!

Yes, when I read that I felt for everyone who's at the synopsis stage...

I think the final note is key - "the agent is on your side"...well, that's the goal, at least - and I've definitely seen the value of this in the past week, but of course you can't always tell that at a first meeting - the shit has to hit the fan before you really know who is in your corner

She obviously prefers the US-style Query.

Very interesting, thanks Casey. I particularly like the bit where she talks about the 'raw DNA' of writing.
