Writing a Synopsis

About a year ago I mentioned writing several versions of your synopsis. How to go about writing a synopsis befuddles most of us the first time we try. It can be more difficult than writing the novel itself! Some people advocate writing it first (which I would call more of an outline), but usually it comes later, after you know how the plot turns out.

Here are some resources, in no particular order, to help you in writing a synopsis:
