How to Write a (Rockin') Novel Synopsis FILLABLE PDF ONE PURCHASE; INFINITE SUBMISSIONS

Write a synopsis that actually works and spot your plot holes before they derail your submission! 

Staring at your manuscript like it’s a 500-piece puzzle missing the corners? You’re not alone. Most writers hate synopses. Boiling down your plot, character arcs, and thematic punch into just 1,000 words feels impossible. (Why can’t agents just read the bloomin’ book?!)

However, a killer synopsis isn’t just a submission requirement – it’s a cheat sheet to expose the weak spots we’d rather ignore, but can rectify. Nail this, and you’ll:  

✓ Have the utmost confidence you have an airtight plot.

✔ Give agents a razor-sharp snapshot of your book – no “Wait, what’s the climax again?” confusion. 

✔ Spot pacing gaps and limp character arcs before they torpedo your chances.  

✔ Slash editing costs by fixing big issues early (you'll rise to the top of your editor's Christmas card list).
