Question! The submission instructions say: "...two or three lines about the story (keep this brief, we don't need a full synopsis in your letter)." So, they don't want a regular query letter? They want something more like a twitter pitch?

And they they say to add a synopsis...but their description of a synopsis sounds like what I'd put in the query? "We don't need (or really want) to know every twist and turn of your plot before we actually read it - a synopsis should simply expand on the few lines from your covering letter to give us a better sense of plot and characters, and an idea of where the story is going."

So what is everyone submitting??
