Need Help With That Synopsis?
Here Are Helpful Articles Online
I am in the midst of my own synopsis-writing for my fantasy novel (and it's going...eh). I'm using these articles to help me get it done, and I'm sure you'll find them really useful:

Jeff Gerke's "For The Synopsis-Challenged"

Camy Tang's series of posts: Story Sensei: SYNOPSIS

Anne R. Allen's "Writing the Dreaded Synopsis"

Fiction Factor's "Mastering the Dreaded Synopsis"

SFF Online's "How To Write A Synopsis: FAQ"

And if you wan't to know what one looks like, here's eHarlequin's Sample Synopsis and one from P&E. Also, see these synopses at Charlotte Dillon's excellent site: Each synopsis did its job, since each story sold!

Glad you're sharing all these Mir, I've been putting off my synopsis...maybe these will take the edge off!

BTW, I love the colors you have going over here!

About Me

Name:
Mirtika


Location:
Metro Miami Area, Florida, United States

I'm a middle-aged, Cuban-American living in a hot-hot-hot town prone to being smacked by tropical storms and hurricanes. I'm working sporadically--and, yes, it's WORK, it's HARD--on a Christian apocalyptic urban fantasy that's driving me nuts and various speculative fiction poems that are both fun and challenging. I also like to dream a lot, which is not all that lucrative at the moment.
