Welcome to the Synopsis Project!
The Synopsis - the land of nightmares. The thing most authors HATE. Harder to write than a 500 page novel.
So, how to tackle the monster? If I knew, I'd tell
you. Honestly, when I submitted my second book to my editor
and she told me that I could just send the manuscript and NOT write a
synopsis, I was ECSTATIC!
I've often wondered how many perfectly wonderful manuscripts sit under
the bed not because they are bad, but because the author didn't live up
to the manuscript in the synopsis. What a shame.
So, without further ado, here's what I've done. I've put together
some selling synopses. Many of my author friends don't have to
write them anymore so couldn't send them to me. But here are a
few. They are mostly romance novels but not all. Hope you
enjoy them. Links to the authors webpages (if available) follow
each synopsis.
Also, here are some links to differing synopsis theories. Help
yourself. Take what works for you, throw away the rest. |
