Your novel is complete and you are ready to submit, but there is one gigantic elephant blocking your way: the synopsis. The synopsis is often the antithesis of good writing: told not shown, dry, and confusing. Blurbs, too, have entirely different writing goals. Come to this 4-week mini-course to workshop your synopsis, blurb, and cover letter through multiple drafts, and to hone it into varying lengths for different submission purposes.
This program takes place online using Zoom.
