When preparing submission materials, it can often prove difficult for writers to craft a compelling synopsis. Through this brand new live webinar, you'll learn how to incorporate voice into your synopsis, how to organize your plot points, and how to decide which details to include that will compel an agent or editor to eagerly move on to your first pages.





About the critique


Some synopses may be used within webinar itself (names removed), depending on date submitted; if you do not wish your materials to be considered for a live critique, please note this in your submission email and submit no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, March 28, 2018.
