Do you have tips for writing a synopsis and a plot description to a Publisher?
Alwyn Hamilton
A Synopsis is one of the trickiest things to write! It should ideally be no longer than 2-3 pages so you want to keep it broad strokes and to main characters only.
Take your time, write it, leave it, come back to it, leave it a few more days etc.
But in terms of really good practical advise of how it should be done, I hightly recommend Susan Dennard's Blog on the subject: http://susandennard.com/for-writers/

I discovered your book "Rebel of the Sands" today, read it in one sitting, and fell in love. Your writing style is beautiful and your characters felt so real - and this is everything I admire in a writer. So I was wondering, what do you think makes a book good? I have recently written a novel, and being a 14 yr old, I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but I would like to know what you think makes a book good!
