I really think they were invented so that only people who are REALLY motivated to get published will submit :) Having said that, if you break down a category romance synopsis to add in all the relationship bits and only include the major plot points, you're on your way!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping in.Serena Tatti Story Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925330119104651251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862974150044524655.post-67657925292867732922011-09-19T19:13:32.495-07:002011-09-19T19:13:32.495-07:00Hi Serena,

Wh...Hi Serena<br /><br />Thank you for that great overview. <br /><br />When writing a category synopsis it's so easy to get bogged down in the plot rather than what editors want to see - the emotional development of the characters and their unfolding romance.<br /><br />It helps to be reminded what to focus on and how the body of the synopsis should be structured. <br /><br />Now off to the drawing board...!<br /><br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862974150044524655.post-65022232091481948092011-09-19T16:58:36.245-07:002011-09-19T16:58:36.245-07:00Thanks Serena, great help for those of us struggli...Thanks Serena, great help for those of us struggling with out dreaded synopsis. <br /><br />Good luck to those entering RWA's Selling Synopsis Comp.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MargaretMargaret Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323258540435150569noreply@blogger.com
