Does the thought of writing a synopsis give you hives?  Would you rather have a root canal?  Multi-published author Kara Lennox, who has sold many books on synopsis alone, will show you how to not only make the process (almost) painless, but to use the synopsis as a writing tool to make sure your book is as strong as it can be.

 

Using tools from her screenwriting experience, Ms. Lennox will illustrate how to break down the synopsis-writing process into a foolproof formula that will have maximum impact for minimum words.  You will learn:

 

--Different ways to open your synopsis

--What to include, what to leave out

--Getting the most out of the fewest words

--How to get your tone across

 

You'll also learn how to infuse the synopsis narrative with a lively style so that it's entertaining rather than dry as dust and gives the reader a taste of the author's voice.

 

Included as a hand-out will be an actual selling synopsis with the parts labeled.
