SUMMARY:Master Class: Crafting and Workshopping the Synopsis
DESCRIPTION: A synopsis shouldn’t feel scary\, but it’s also important to take your time and get it right. While some editors and literary agents won’t care about getting one . . . there are plenty who do\, and the last thing you want is to try to bang out a quick synopsis when you feel the pressure and the clock ticking. In this workshop\, we’ll spend some time digging into what makes a great synopsis by discussing real examples and advice dished out by the pros.\n\n  \nLiterary agent and author Eric Smith will talk about how to work on all of this. He’s been on both sides of synopsis writing\, from his life as an author to his career as a literary agent. Then he’ll workshop with writers who are struggling with the first few pages of their synopsis. Stress on the first few pages\, as a good synopsis should only have to be two to three pages long. The best ones are just a page!\n\n  \nWriters interested in having their synopsis critiqued need to have it sent to Eric Smith no later than March 11th. (Information on how to do this will be provided once you sign up.) After his talk and a brief break\, he’ll sit with individual writers for a few minutes and share his notes. All participants (who send their work in on time!) will be sent their synopsis via email\, with notes in-line in Microsoft Word. If you’re still working on your synopsis or need to know how to start\, you’re welcome to attend the class and send a synopsis to Eric at a later date for critique\, but it will take longer for him to respond.\n\n  \nAfter the workshop\, we’ll have a Q&A\, and attendees can ask anything\, from questions about the publishing process to writing YA to whatever.\n\nDate: Thursday\, March 21\, 2019 \nTime: 9:00 a.m. – Noon \nLocation: Visual Arts Center of Richmond\, 1812 W Main St\, Richmond\, VA 23220 \nPrice: $65 – Members; $80 Non-members \n  \nREGISTER NOW\n\n
