Your 5-Step Synopsis Solution



 Picture
Dear Writer,
At some point in your journey toward publication, you'll need
to write a 350-word synopsis. Definitely not a slam dunk, but
it's doable.

The synopsis has always been a major player in the submission process,  going waaaay back to the old days of "snail mail." 

That may seem like bad news. However, when you learn to write an effective synopsis, you increase the potential your book will sit (someday) on a shelf at Barnes and Noble.

The synopsis (like the query letter), is a deal maker or deal breaker. It must convince the agent you're the real deal: a skillful writer with a saleable book.

Write it well and the agent will read it, then move on to your sample pages (the goal all along).

Write it poorly and they'll take a latte break instead.

When I was an acquisitions editor, if a synopsis didn't tell me (immediately) what I needed to know, I'd stop reading and send it to delete-ville.
