		<description>Nicely done, Sean!  Here are some more detailed points...

It&#039;s a very functional summary of the plot, but I think it&#039;d stand out more if it had more style.  This is a comedy, right? Could you work some wacky detail into the description?

&quot;a villainous plot shrouded in war and capitalism&quot; is better than something really generic like just &quot;a villainous plot,&quot; but it may help to say more about what&#039;s at stake.   

Is it necessary to describe the space pirate as wild?  (That strikes me as sort of implied by him being a pirate).  

Is it necessary to describe the CEO as greedy?  (I can&#039;t remember the last time I encountered a businessman villain that wasn&#039;t greedy).  

Lastly, I think there are some places you could maybe shave a few words.  
&quot;offers to help&quot; could probably be &quot;helps.&quot;  I think it&#039;s more active and a bit shorter.  

&quot;the unlikely duo&quot; could probably be shortened to &quot;they.&quot;  Based on their description, I think we can infer they&#039;re an unlikely duo.  

&quot;escape the fury of a greedy CEO&quot; could be &quot;escape a furious CEO,&quot; but I suspect that replacing furious with something more unexpected would help.

		<description>I thought maybe boiling my plot down to two sentences might help me finish the novel. Care to rate what I came up with - &quot;A wild and carefree space pirate offers to help a nervous pilot escape the fury of a greedy CEO. During their travels, the unlikely duo uncover a villainous plot shrouded in war and capitalism.&quot;</description>

		<description>Good morning, everybody!

I like this. I still struggle to write my own synopses because I constantly forget what amount of information to include. Thanks!</description>
