The Writers’ HQ online synopsis writing course will help you prepare for sending your manuscript out into the big wide world of publishing.

You think you’ve done the hard part by writing a book, but landing an agent is the next big hurdle to leap over.

Learn how to craft a small but perfectly formed synopsis and impress prospective agents with your summarising prowess.

“Writers’ HQ got me writing again after a break of nearly 20 years. They are amazing! A motivating, practical, friendly course with exercises to do and a nice positive forum to discuss how it’s all going.” CATHERINE A LEIMER
