  • On the Synopsis...

    i have a prodco that requested script AND a synopsis.... after finally getting over not even WANTING to send a synopsis, i'm working on one now. yes, that means i didn't already have a working synopsis. shame on me.

    anyway, having a hard time finding examples online. i've found some, but they're always part of coverage.

    what other info do i include on a synopsis? genre? page count? etc?

    thanks for reading

    I believe there's one at www.wordplayer.com/

    Edit -- Also try:

    www.writesafe.com/wsview.html
    Click on any of the "Film Scripts/Treatments/Proposals" links in the middle of the page. Some of the synopses there are fairly professional. Others aren't, but you'll get a good idea.

        Did you look in the Screenwriter's Bible-Trottier?

              My ex- agent told me that book synopsis are a good starting point.

              I too hate writing synopsis. I got my intial sample from a book writing webboard ("eclectsicstoo" if I remember correclty)
