I'm still participating in the synopsis workshop online
but I have to say that the “instructor” leaves a fair amount to be desired in some ways. She’s off for five days in the middle of our paid-for workshop, to go to a convention. Now that’s fine - she’s pubbed, she’s got stuff on all burners. BUT if that’s the case, she shouldn’t have tried to “fit in” this workshop.
She’s also not real sympathetic to those of us in ’shop who are writing fantasy or aren’t writing romance specifically - which surprise surprise is well over half of us. Unlike the other workshops I’ve taken online, this one seems to be “maven’d” by a “nothing but romance” individual. Which is more than awkward….
However, even with the above-entered caveats, I’m managing to get some helpful information out of this - in spite of the instructor. Though her take on a marketing synop is MAGNITUDES different from others I’ve had in the past - mostly in number of pages….
