Is your synopsis dull and tepid? Does your synopsis suffer from wordiness
or lack of clarity? Do you want feedback on how to make your synopsis
exciting and sharp?
SFA-RWA is proud to announce the second annual Sharp Synopsis Contest.
We want to help authors write detailed, precise, and yet when needed, concise synopsis and have them ready to submit to an editor or agent at a moment’s notice. Send us your synopsis and we will help you sharpen it and place in front of an acquiring agent.
Here are the details of the contest:
Eligibility: All unpublished and published authors are welcome to enter into the
following categories:
Short Contemporary
Long Contemporary
Historical
Paranormal
Non-RWA authors are encouraged to submit their work.
Submission Requirements
Send us four (4) copies of:
Your short synopsis (2 pages maximum) and
Your long synopsis (5-12 pages) to be judged
AND one (1) copy of the first 10 pages of your manuscript (unjudged).
If you are a finalist, your short and long
synopsis and the first 10 pages of your manuscript will be sent to an agent
for final judging.
Judges and Categories
Preliminary judges are aspiring authors, PRO and PAN members. All judges
receive training. Every entry will be judged by at least one published
author.
