Devoured this brief but beefy guide on writing the "dreaded synopsis." The book is packed with juicy tidbits, practical advice and a swift kick in the pants.Nicola does an excellent job of defining what the synopsis is and what it isn't. Then she offers two different methods for writing your synopsis which make the task seem a lot more manageable. She follows this up with before and after samples of synopses.This is a very short read. (I read it from cover-to-cover in less than three hours.) Now I have an easy-to-use guide for writing synopses. More importantly, thanks to the knowledge I gained from Nicola's guide and her easy-to-follow plan the idea of creating a synopsis doesn't seem so intimidating anymore.Seriously writers, GET. THIS. BOOK.
