The Dreaded SynopsisThe Dreaded Synopsis
A Writing and Plotting Guide

From the back cover:

Every Novelist Needs A Synopsis!

Submission guidelines for virtually every agent or publisher seeking novels include a request for a synopsis. Ergo, every movelist or aspiring novelist needs to know what a synopsis is and how to write one that will catch an editor's fancy. This book by acclaimed romance writer Elizabeth Sinclair gives all the details...what to do and what not to do...to make your synopsis the effective selling tool you need.

The Dreaded Synopsis Back Cover

Now you can have Elizabeth's widely-acclaimed Dreaded Synopsis workshop in book form. If you've always considered a synopsis akin to an untamable beast, here's the book that will show you how to turn it into a pussycat. Using her own synopsis, Elizabeth walks you through that hated process one step at a time, explaining the procedure and sharing some of her secrets for writing a synopsis that will catch any editor'seye.

SEE WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING ALREADY!

Debra Dixon, award-winning author of GMC: Goal, Motivation and Conflict, says: "If you're serious about a publishing career, you need this book."


Susan Wiggs, best-selling, award-winning author of over twenty novels, says:
"If you've never written a novel, or if you've written dozens of books, try this fresh, common sense approach to give your story shape, texture, and reader appeal."

Bonnie Crisalli, former Harlequin American/Intrigue editor, says: "As Elizabeth Sinclair's former editor, I was always impressed with her brief, yet remarkably thorough synopses. Now I know how she did it, and I'm even more impressed!"

Hilary Sares, Consulting Editor for Kensington Precious Gems, says: "Elizabeth Sinclair's new guide, THE DREADED SYNOPSIS, offers detailed, thorough, and funny instructions for every author who'd like to learn to write a synopsis that sells."
