A UK publisher has asked to see the first two chapters of my manuscript and a synopsis of the entire book.

How do i present the two chapters... ie formating (double space? margin size?) and physical presentation (what sort of paper, and folder, and binding?)

It is non-fiction. So how do i write the synopsis. Is it a chapter by chapter breakdown or synopsys of the entire book. How long is this?

thanks!

Hey, my name is Stevenson, and i'm from NYC. I enjoy writing stories.. I just finish writing a short story and i wanted to know if anyone wanted to read it. If so, leave your email address and i'll send it to you. Thank you, and here's a brief summary of the story

Joey: A 16 year old kid with the thought of mind of Holden Caulfield and the slick mouth of any lonely teenager searching for acceptance. After Joey’s mom hits the lottery they move to Laguna Beach, California, or as Joey would say: “the place where Satan’s children reside”. While enjoying the Laguna Beach party life, Joey needs more, so he convinces his mom to send him to Africa: “To find the meaning of life and all”. While rooming at J.Danjis: A boarding school in Africa, Joey meets some questionable people and teachers who are sure to map out the real question of why Joey is so angry at the world. Taking a page out of J.D Salinger’s: Catcher in the Rye writing style and the sleek references to pop culture. He never heard her whisper is a sure bet when it comes to adolescence and rebellion.

What do you think about the part of the book where he explains the procedure of souls entering the body?To me it looked like a script for a movie.

--------------

I like the Harry Potter Series but i don't usally like nor read Fantasy books. I guess it's because Harry Potter has sooo much more to it than all the fantasy stuff.

Just curious about an idealized cast...my husband and I amuse ourselves casting Austen pics when we're bored. We'd love to hear people's ideas whether we agree with them or not--not just Lizzy and Darcy, but Charlotte, Mr Collins, Mrs Bennet,or any and all Austen characters. Don't hold back!
