I'm trying to write the synopsis so i can send it all off to several agents but I'm not 100% sure on the synopsis. Do I just describe the main plotline of the book (even though that is a lot in itself) or do i include sub-plots too, particularly ones that are vital to the story. And how is it meant to be written, is it meant to keep in tone with the book or just describe the plot bluntly? and one last thing, how long should it be? the novel is 115,000 words if that makes a difference. Thank you so much for your help. xox

If you haven't read it, Miss Snark's blog is a great place to find out what irritates an agent :-) Generally, though, I try to keep mine to two pages unless it's a very complicated work, and "dry" (it's not a query pitch) but not "dusty" (not so blunt that they can't get a feel of my writing style). Minor subplots do not need to be detailed. The climax and ending need to be included.
