I'll have to try that for my query.

I don't the site TJ is referring to you but I can give you some tips; stick to the main plot don't bother with subplots and sub characters in a one page. Don't try to do a chapter by chapter just give the bones of it. Give the Who, hows and why's of it, making sure you highlight things like the stakes and conflict and ensure you reveal the ending.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340461285866293775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753485460554736312.post-26652563117107804462013-04-30T15:50:51.684+10:002013-04-30T15:50:51.684+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340461285866293775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753485460554736312.post-19607772681389828262013-04-30T15:40:21.767+10:002013-04-30T15:40:21.767+10:00Do you remember the site name for the one page syn...Do you remember the site name for the one page synopsis. An agent I queried has asked for three chapters and a one page synopsis and the daunting task of writing a synopsis is killing me.

You also give useful and easy to understand examples. Good luck, it sounds like you know what you are doing. I am a new follower on your blog.

Once I had my book boiled down to 700 words, I realized my query was horrible and vague. I used the synopsis, which had a hook in the beginning to describe the MC and went from there...carrying it to the climax in short sentences. I've had tons of hits with several fulls out currently.T.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11719361269817168474noreply@blogger.com
