Hear that sizzle!
Before reading this book, I wrote my own synopsis off the top of my head, and it was okay. Maybe even pretty good.
But pretty good isn't good enough! After going through this book chapter by chapter and painstakingly applying Bryan's tips, I put my ear to my monitor, and what did I hear? Sizzle!
This is a good read for anyone looking to write their own synopses.
