7 Tips on How to Write a Synopsis or Summary
— Kathy Kathie
1. The time and place should be indicated at the beginning of the synopsis.
2. A brief description of the main characters should be given as they appear in the story.
3. The synopsis should begin at the opening of the story and told in the same order.
4. Dramatic scenes that propel the story forward, including climatic scenes should be described within the synopsis.
5. The synopsis must be no longer than 250 words long.
6. The story must be told in the present tense and in the third person.
7. When telling the story, dialogue should not be included. The story should be related in an informal way.
This had been shared with us by our instructor when I was in grade 9. I usually used these guidelines and it's very helpful. I wanna share it to you if you have some confusions or conflicts in summarizing your story. I hope it will help you somehow!
