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

- 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.
