How to Write a Synopsis

letswritesomenovels:

Back when I was doing my MA program, I typed up a guide to writing query letters. It’s the post from this blog that I’m most proud of: a thorough step-by-step guide that combines days and weeks of research, and dozens of sources, into a neatly packaged 1,800-word post.

Stop feeling guilty for not writing, it’s not helpful. But, don’t let fear of failure stop you. Don’t start over, keep going. Write the book you want to read.
