ynopsis View
A synopsis is typically a one page summary, usually double
spaced and in a 12-point font for easy reading. It should tell a
story from beginning, to middle, to end and focus on the main
characters, their objectives, and conflicts. The goal, of course, is
to introduce the reader to major events that occur in each act;
subtly revealing major twists, turns and plot points.
Don't forget the key element, your dramatic conclusion.
