A Summary of the Script
The main body of the synopsis will tell the story in fast forward, but it
must be a captivating read. Imagine a tired and underpaid editor reading it. Since
every word counts, it is unwise to use two if one will do. Getting straight to
the point is the best approach and will give the screenwriter a professional
feel when the synopsis is submitted. Allowing someone else to read the synopsis
could highlight problems with it. Feedback is always important for the
screenwriter. The following should be addressed:
• Does the synopsis flow?
• Is it engaging?
• Does it accurately
reflect the screenplay?
If there are any doubts about the wording, it might be wise to put it
away for a week or so and to read it again with a fresh viewpoint
