How to Write a Synopsis of Your Book for Publishers

If you plan to submit your book to traditional publishers (companies that will pay you for the rights to print and distribute your book), you will likely be required to submit a synopsis. Learning to write a synopsis can also help you during the writing process, even if you plan to self-publish.

So, what is a synopsis, anyway?

​In this week's writer coaching session, we'll discuss that in detail and explore why, when, and how to write a synopsis.
