Hi all,
In regards to the desire for another way to let the reader know about strong
language, violence, or sex, we will allow a note to be added to the synopsis.
Please keep this as neutral as possible. Something to the effect of "contains
strong language/adult situations" is great but something like "filthy, filthy,
filthy!" is not what we are going for. Since everyone has his or her own
interpretation of what is "racy" or "adult," people may disagree on what should
be labeled and what shouldn't, but please think of how a movie might classify
it.
An example: a novel about gang activity might have graphic violence but not be
appropriate to mark as AC. In this instance, the submitter or proofer could add
a note to the end of the synopsis such as "contains graphic violence."
Hopefully this will be a workable compromise! As Alisa said, please email me
off list with any other comments!
Thanks,
Madeleine Linares
