Hey everyone, here's my contribution to fellow mankind:
anatomy of a children’s book synopsis
I'm going to reward myself with a cup of coffee and jog around the kitchen to get my foot back into shape! ALSO, please leave me some nice words on my website if you read any article and enjoy it. I'm beginning to wonder if more than two people find the information useful. If I don't see comments pouring in soon at http://www.cynthealiu.
*UPDATE: You may now download this article to your Kindle! *
Here it is: the DREADED synopsis. A synopsis is a one-page, single-spaced, summary of your book (beginning, middle, end). Typically written in third person, present tense. This is the C LIU rule of thumb. You’ll hear all kinds of different answers on this one. But when guidelines don’t say anything more than “synopsis,” this is my definition. NOTE: synopses should only apply to chaptered books/novels.
DOORS ARE CLOSED!!!!!!
Yup, the cast is off. My foot is so small I could wear Thumbelina’s shoe. BUT LET’S NOT THINK ABOUT THAT. Because it’s time for JUNE JUMANJI JUSTICE. (it was too hard to come up with a free-tique alliteration for J).
IN OTHER NEWS:
No time! No time! I'm going to the doc today to be LIBERATED!!!!! Also, today on Coffee with Cynthea, I talk cover letters. Oooo…..
