The ban of a writer’s existence: the synopsis
I wrote a novel a while back. I edited it really carefully. I think it’s good. I don’t know, but I think.
The problem that I’m having is I need to write a synopsis for this novel in order to do anything with it. That leaves me confuzzled. I do searches and I can’t seem to learn a lot.
Which brings me to this week’s question.
Do you know if any good websites or tips for writing really good synopses?
Maybe, in view of this question, I should make it my goal this year to get my first rejection letter. (Ouch. That’s tough. But a good plan in my head.)

About Abigail
I'm an elementary education major at a college in the Midwest. I might graduate as early as December '13 but more likely May '14. I write when I can. I also knit on occasion, draw, do homework and contradict teachers to make people think. :)3 responses to “The ban of a writer’s existence: the synopsis”

I write because pen and paper are cheaper than heroin and needles.

I could tell you about how to write a synopsis but I think it would be clearer if you read the synopsis section in Your Novel Proposal from Creation to Contract by Blythe Camenson and Marshall J. Cook. I love that book. Good luck on sending your manuscript off.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I was looking for.
Glad I could help :)
