Personally, I hate the concept of a synopsis. I wrote a book because I had a concept to express and a story I could express it with. I don’t want to compress 50,000 words into a paragraph and I certainly don’t think a synopsis gives a literary agent a clear view of my novel.
However, the publishing industry is the way it is and unless I decide to publish independently, I have to live with writing a synopsis (despite how hard it is for me). I believe I need to get over the fact that I hate synopses and just do it.
What are your opinions on synopses? Any suggestions on how to write better ones?
