The biggest mistake most people make when they try to write a synopsis for the first time is to create a bare bones plot summary, along the lines of “First this happens, then this happens, then this happens...” Synopses written this way tend to be so dry and boring even the author would have trouble understanding why anyone would want to read the full novel.

Some great tips on how to write a synopsis of your novel:

The synopsis: what it is, what it isn’t, how to write it

An excerpt:

Publishers and agents require a synopsis of your novel before you submit the MS (that’s 'manuscript' – might as well learn the jargon now). The synopsis is your most powerful, in fact, your only, selling tool. Your cover letter is less important, and I'll cover it in a future article, but what you are selling is your novel, and your novel's representative is your synopsis.

Cont'd..
