If you’re seeking an agent or publisher, a strong synopsis is essential. It outlines what your book is about, how it stands out, and how it compares to others in the genre. There are specific criteria for what belongs in a synopsis, and while breaking the rules is possible, it should be done with care—and flair. A well-crafted synopsis also gives agents and publishers insight into your writing style, your approach to storytelling, and what readers can expect.
