I read the book, liked it very much, and think this is a great pitch for it too. I am the last to offer help with the cover, but wish you all the best if finding one. Good luck with the book too.

I'm sorry, I'm not good at doing these either. When I first read it, I thought right away it was a short synopsis. It sounds good. I hadn't read much of this particular book. I wasn't around then as much as I am now. I wish I was more help.
hugs Heidi

Thank you for the kind thoughts.
Comment from Heidi M
This is the most challenging part of writing, in my opinion.
It's an effective hook if your back cover has a question in it. This might be related to the break-ins that threaten Paige's safety.
Be sure you have scoured the publisher's website for examples/suggestions of what they consider relevant for your book pitch. That's how I was able to write mine.

Comment from light
Barbara, I think you have written an intriguing description of your story. I gave up on publishers a long time ago. Not good with rejection. It sounds like the publisher is really interested and just needs this to make a final decision. You are good writer, and I hope this works for you.

Comment from apky
My following suggestions are simply that: suggestions. Not criticisms of your work.
1) Savannah Love is a romantic suspense novel that begins on a hot July Savannah, Georgia day. (I'd change this to more ACTIVE and more SHOW than TELL) Or you could forgot the first sentence altogether and simply dive into the story with your second sentence, including the genre and location at the end of it.
I'm never good at this myself but normally find it a little easier to deal with someone else's, lol!

I hate this process and I do appreciate your suggestions. I will rework the first line.
Comment from Ben Colder
The overview is intriguing to me. Not only does it create wonder but to those who love Antebellum era it flows with the everyday reader. Appeals to relic hunters, treasure seekers, historical interest, lovers of Antebellum homes, southern diehards etc. Then there is that Romantic ego we all seem to look for in one form are the other. I prefer the soft shoe as you have written while some wish the other. I have been told write it from your heart. That from the heart reaches the heart. I believe that. I get an autograph copy.

Comment from Sankey
I loved this when I read it right through and stayed with you from beginning to end. Hoping if published I might score an autographed copy for my collection of same from other FS writers I have helped. One suggestion.Often, threatening [Paige's] (her) safety.

Savannah Love was what I read when I became interested in reading your work, and I think you have describe it about as well as anyone might. Of course, I'm not use to deal with publishers and have never sent in a book proposal, so I can't be much help. But I hope plenty chime in to help. Good Luck! It's a nice read. :-)

As you know my friend I am no good at writing long pieces but what I will say is what the publisher wants is something to draw the readers in giving just enough detail to get them hooked without giving too much away hope this helps regards Jill
