Description: 

Do you dread writing a synopsis? Is crafting back cover blurbs challenging? Are you unsure of what to include in your author bio?


In “Blurbs, Bios, and the Dreaded Synopsis,” Ariella Moon will guide you through these critical marketing pieces. You will discover:

  • The key elements acquiring editors expect in a synopsis.
  • How to distill your manuscript into enticing cover copy.
  • How genre and author branding should influence your bio.

This will be an interactive writing lab, designed to hone your skill. For reference, you are encouraged to bring a hard copy (or laptop for accessing your files) of your current blurb, bio, and/or synopsis, even if you only have rough drafts.
