• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Writing a synopsis is surely the most unrewarding part of most writers’ lives. Synopses are widely disliked because, in general, writers simply don’t understand how to approach the job.

In this eye-opening seminar from Litopia, we will show you how a good synopsis can be a writer’s best friend at every stage of a manuscript’s development and sale. We aim to change your mind about the humble synopsis!

“The Joy of Synopses” is a highly practical seminar: with downloadables, examples from best-sellers and even a quiz to take at the end! It covers…

  • What A Synopsis Can – And Can’t – Do
  • Why There Are Two Completely Different Types Of Synopses
  • The Synopsis Can Help You Write Your Book And Sell It – If You Understand How To Use It
  • The Working Synopsis Vs. The Submission Synopsis
  • How To Construct A Big Picture Synopsis – And What It Does
  • How To Construct A Rope Ladder Synopsis – And What It Does
  • How To Use Your Working Synopsis To Create A Compelling Submission Synopsis

As with all Litopia’s seminars, “The Joy of Synopses” is included in your Full Membership subscription. If you’re not yet a Full Member, you can upgrade now and start this seminar right away!

NB: Litopia’s seminars now have a new home – you can access them from your Account Portal. Or just click here to go straight to this seminar.
