In reply to spurvis500. Thank you Suzanne. This will definitely help me with querying agents since I finished writing a memoir. I greatly appreciate your input! :)

In reply to Nadia Greasley. Thanks for stopping by Nadia. For non-fiction works, the synopsis is called a book proposal. You'll want to research what is required for each agent or editor. You will also need to include at least a page of references, a detailed list of your credentials, etc. Most of the time the proposal can be written and submitted before the book is actually written. With a memoir, it can go either way. Write the book first then submit your proposal, or write the first chapter and the proposal and submit. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Suzanne for this blog. It is very detailed and helpful! I have a question: Is a synopsis also required for non-fiction works (memoirs, narrative non-fictions, essays)? Thank you!

Thanks Susan. I have just signed up for the class. I'm not new to LWA classes. Do you have a private contact e-mail. I would like to enquire about something with the class. Thanks. Julie
