Write a synopsis in 15 minutes? Impossible? No, author Sharon Page has written a quick “blurb” synopsis for a story in 15 minutes, and sold it! Sharon’s tips will help everyone build a synopsis just as efficiently, and she will reveal the most important secret to writing one quickly.

This workshop will also show how to introduce your characters, goals, motivations, and conflict, how to create a satisfying ending, and how to develop and summarize the middle of the book. Methods of plotting will be touched on to show how to evolve the “15 minute” synopsis into a book.

USA Today Best-selling author Sharon Page writes sensual historical romance for Bantam Dell and erotic romance for Kensington’s Aphrodisia line. Called “A new queen of erotic romance” by Romantic Times magazine, Sharon is the two-time, consecutive winner of the National Readers’ Choice Award for Erotic Romance. Sharon’s sales to Bantam Dell and Kensington have been made on one or two chapters and a synopsis, so she has worked hard to develop techniques for writing a synopsis. Sharon is also the mother of two young children and wife of a terrifically supportive husband. She holds a university degree in industrial design and works part-time for a structural engineering firm.
