Mine is similar to yours. It's about half a page.

I haven't actually had to use mine yet, but I have written it up.

It's 300 words, and follows this rule:

Genre outline and word count

Little smidging about the book. A teaser, if you will.

Why my book is worth representing.

Who I am and my reasons behind writing the book.

Statement of how much you've enclosed and a thank you for reading.

Tip: Put something in that's shocking/interesting/intriging. Risky, but I like a bit of risk. It's better than boring.
