Synopsis Review with Jessica Berg
$449
The synopsis needs to do the most and it's always the last thing a writer wants to write — so it's usually the weakest document in the package, and agents can tell. This review reads yours for the things agents actually check: does the plot hold, is the ending clear, does your character change, and does it match the book your query promised?
What you get:
- A full read of your synopsis (up to 2 pages)
- Notes in the margins showing where I got lost, where it dragged, and where the stakes went soft
- A letter on the big stuff: plot logic, ending clarity, character arc, and whether the synopsis and query are telling the same story
- The synopsis chapter of your Personal Query Workbook — my plot/ending/arc verdicts in workbook form, plus your revision checklist in fix-first order
- Clear next steps so your synopsis revision has a plan, not just a pile of comments
This is for you if:
- Your synopsis is the piece of your package you trust least
- You're getting no full requests and want to rule the synopsis in or out as the reason
- You've rewritten it so often you can't judge it anymore
What to send: Your synopsis, your query letter, and your genre and word count. (The query matters — it lets me check that both documents are selling the same book.)
Turnaround: 20 working days from purchase. In a hurry? Add the 7-day rush at checkout (+$150).
Why writers book this: I receive 150+ queries a week. About 90% get rejected on page one. Around 2% get requested. This isn't a friend reading your letter — it's a working agent showing you exactly where your materials land inside that math, and how to move them.
I take on 6 reviews a month — total, across all review services. When the month's spots are gone, they're gone, and the listing closes until the 1st. If this page is live, there's a spot. If it's not, there isn't.
November spots: 6 of 6 left.
This is a paid review from me, Jessica Berg. It's separate from Rosecliff Literary, and it isn't an offer of or a path to representation.
