Hi everyone.
I've written text for a picture book and some agents specifically state that a synopsis is needed. Also, a few have requested that the full picture book is placed in the body of the email rather than as an attachment.
Is it best practice to send a synopsis, even if the book is only 600 words of so?
Also, if they don't specify whether they'd like the book as an attachment or not, is it best to attach a document or paste in the body of the email?
Thanks,
Melissa
If in any doubt, email the agent and ask how they'd like the submission, Melissa.
If you're asked for a synopsis, that's what you send. It doesn't have to be very long, if the book is so short.
Always do what the agent asks. You have one chance at this, and you don't want your submission binned because they haven't time to sort out where things are.

Hi, Melissa.
I would follow the Agent's submission guidelines on their website. You may find that individual Agents requirements differ, albeit slightly.
I hope that helps.
Good luck.
