Attached Link: Writing the Fiction Synopsis--The Hunt for Stumpy in Firecracker Forest

":A synopsis is critical to selling your fiction writing. It can be fun, too!" Good information from dvitola. Check it out. :)

Oh good, it isn't on what my new tutorial is on. And now that someone else has done one, I won't have to feel guilty about taking over the tutuorial section either... I guess that means I better get my artwork done. So I can post mine. :)

Just checked it out, and alas! It isn't about the stupid "describe your book in two paragraph" thingys that go into query letters. I've met professional writers that don't seem to believe that editors actually ask for "describe your book in two paragraphs, but they DO ask for that -- maybe they didn't use to? Anway, the advice on the longer version of a synopsis seems pretty good. Too bad that I don't need one until after I've done a successful query letter.

Hey, if you did a successful query letter, you don't need the tutorial. ;) I think in our two second world, even synopsis are having to get shorter. Pretty soon, novels will fit on the back of a cereal box.

Tutorials. Acceptable EVEN on the back of a cereal box. Thank you. Shanna :-)
