Writer's Lab: How to Write a Synopsis

with Siera London

Imagine that book you’re writing or have always wanted to write sitting on the shelves at Barnes and Noble and being checked out by your neighbors from the Library. Whether you’re just thinking about your first writing project or working on the next chapter of your epic series, the Library’s Writing Lab will move your story along, break through writer’s block and get you ready to send that book to the editor.

Learn all about how to construct a query synopsis for submission to a literary agent or publishing house editor! You'll come away with more knowledge about creating a blueprint of your story with key elements of fiction revealed in a narrative format, what to include or not include in your synopsis, the ideal page length, and how to tell your whole story without having a finished book.

A recording of the workshop will be available to attendees after the program.
