COURSE DESCRIPTION

One of the nicest moments a beginning novelist gets to experience is typing the words "The End" on the last page of a manuscript. But for many, the sense of accomplishment can often be short-lived. The manuscript is done, but now what? Market savvy writers know that a polished, salable manuscript is not the only step in making a good impression with prospective editors or agents. After studying all the available literature, a new writer quickly discovers that, along with sample chapters, cover letters and SASEs, one of the submission requirements is the novel synopsis. But what's that?

In this email critiquing course you will learn all the do's and don'ts for writing succinct novel synopseswhat to include, what not to include, what format to use, which mistakes to avoid. With feedback from the instructor, you will get your one-page synopsis critiquedup to four draftsand leave this course with a synopsis ready to send out with your manuscript. You will be provided with sample synopses and tips and guidelines in our course library and the instructor is always available to answer your questions via email.

Work at your own pace. Finish in as little time as one week or take up to four weeks.
