The reason for this is simple: An agent or an acquisitions editor may not want or have the time to read your whole manuscript as they go through the initial process of deciding if they are interested in your project. And, yes, you need to complete this section even if you have completed your nonfiction manuscript. Indeed, this tedious section really is just that: a synopsis of each and every chapter. I get asked a lot of questions about this section by my clients, especially when helping them with their book proposals, so I thought maybe I should revisit this series and add a post on what I also call the chapter-by-chapter synopsis. (Find the first post here.) I did not, however, discuss the section called “Chapter Summaries” in detail. A while back I ran a series here in which I described each section of a nonfiction book proposal.
