The only thing I was confused about was that you didn't include the ending of your book in the synopsis as you said we should do - is that just because you didn't want to give the ending away before the book came out or is that not something we should do?

Something you can do is have a paragraph towards the end that reads something like, "Main Character discovers Villain's identity when such and such happens. He then realizes that he should have known all along because of X, Y, and Z that happened earlier in the book." Then the agent or editor will see that you've been smart about how you plant your clues.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-57660132293134369032016-08-02T10:07:53.479-05:002016-08-02T10:07:53.479-05:00Glad you found it helpful!Glad you found it helpful!Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-30679071103005030752016-08-02T10:07:32.975-05:002016-08-02T10:07:32.975-05:00Hooray!Hooray!Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-47499812965206292042016-08-02T10:07:21.067-05:002016-08-02T10:07:21.067-05:00Thank you, Grace!
