Master synopsis writing
Most writers find writing a synopsis almost as daunting as producing an 80,000 word manuscript. But there is no way around it if you want your work published. Writing a synopsis is also a valuable developmental tool to help you understand what your story is about and what you are wanting to say. Learn the necessary ingredients of a synopsis and how to put them together to cook up a great result.
Learning outcomes:
A clear understanding of what a synopsis is.
Specific tools and strategies to write a synopsis.
An idea of what works and doesn’t work in a synopsis.
Inspiration to rework an existing synopsis, or write a new one.
A well-worked draft synopsis.
