The Seven Paragraph Synopsis – Redux by Hope Ramsay

ay back in November, 2011,  I posted a blog here on writing a synopsis.  The post turned into a session at the 2013 RWA Nationals and to this day I continue to get people emailing me looking for more details on synopsis writing.  So, below you’ll find the original post in its entirety.

In addition, I have posted some plotting and characterization worksheets that plotters (and pantsers) may find useful in creating an outline or synopsis for a book you’re just starting.  The worksheets are available at:  http://hoperamsay.com/Worksheets.html.  The worksheet on novel turning points is particularly helpful in trying to decide what to put in a synopsis and what to leave out.
