Hi

Is there any advice on layout of the one pager?
Single lined, double lined?

I am treating it as a query letter/tiny synopsis - single lined.

And is it bad if I am happy with writing only 1/2 a page, rather than filling it?

Not too important. Double spacing leaves room for comments.

And half a page of good writing is far better than any amount of waffle!

Does the one page 'intro about your book' include spoilers? It's a synopsis rather than a jacket blurb, right?

Thanks for any info.

I went for a 'flavour' – a bit of both, but I've no idea if that's the right approach, Jenny.

Thanks John. (I know I'm late doing it but I'm one of the 'out of the EU' people so I am allowed to email it.)

Hi Jenny
I've gone for the short synopsis approach with mine (including spoilers).

Good luck with yours,

Hi Stephy, thank you. I'm afraid I've gone for a horrible mess - eeek. I shall attempt to sort it out before it's emailed but this is not a trick I've mastered yet. What on earth to leave out?

If you go into the group finish the damn book (I think it's on page four in the group tab - to save you searching forever) you can see Stephy and ours attempts at sorting ours out it may give you some help. I'm sure you'll sort it Jenny.
