Hi Lisa!
It is tricky to pull off a strong short version of our stories, right? I thought a handy list of tips could inspire us and make the dreaded synopsis a little less daunting.
Thanks for you comments!

Thanks, lady! Happy to write it and hope it can take the edge off this challenging task for a few writers.

Hi Ellen,
I've been making a synopsis and it happens to be in present tense, but I'm not sure if that is standard or not. I would have to check on that. 🙂

It is good to have someone else summarize the story for you. I may have to ask you about that in the near future.

Hi Laurie,
All eyes on deck!
It's a good mantra, for sure. And maybe your first critique person was already familiar with your story... sometimes that could mask the missing parts in your synopsis. If you can have someone unfamiliar with the story read it, that may be even better. I loved that you kept going and got more feedback.

And I hope your story has found a wonderful home. Thanks for your nightmare submission story, Laurie!

It tough, right? Melding down your elaborate book into a tiny summary can be frustrating. A little levity can make it easier. Plus, we can't forget to celebrate that hard work.
Thanks for the comments, Lynette. 🙂
