Helloooooo there...

Because I'm new to novel writing, I want to ask...

WHAT IS A SYNOPSES????

It is a description of your novel - not to be confused with the "Back of the book" blurb. It can be a 1 sentence blip, a 1 paragraph, 1 page or 10 page description of your book. Basically, it tells someone what your book is about, giving more than a query letter would.

Thank you so much...

1.
a brief or condensed statement giving a general view of some subject.

2.
a compendium of heads or short paragraphs giving a view of the whole.

3.
a brief summary of the plot of a novel, motion picture, play, etc.
