    How's my synopsis? Tips please

    It's hard to strike that balance, huh? Your wording edits definitely work though, and the synopsis already feels much better! Personally, I'm jealous! My own synopsis is barely two sentences, but yours took up entire paragraphs! For your synopsis, I would go for: Or something similar. All I did...

    As a writer, what do you feel your greatest strengths and weaknesses are?

    I can do world-building, emotional depth, and distinct character voices fairly well. I think describing scenery and infusing them with emotion is my greatest strength. I tend to only write in one particular style, so that lack of flexibility limits my general writing ability. I also find it hard...

    New Author Here – Hello from Jaswanth

    Wow, my story/concept is actually a little similar to yours! It's titled Who We Once Were. It's about two sisters who hold a great power inside of them and are running away from a seemingly omniscient Church across a vast and beautiful continent. It has changes of pace, but I spent the first 4...

    How's my synopsis? Tips please

    Most definitely I would break up the synopsis to make it easier to read. The words are phrased beautifully, but I can't make it past the second sentence without having to stop because it's just so dense. Break it up into smaller paragraphs, single lines, that kind of thing. Other than that...

    Any tips for writing a story synopsis?

    To me it reads like a run-on sentence. I would suggest take out the dialogue completely, and revamp the synopsis structure. Because I can't get myself to read the synopsis. If I can't understand your hook, then I won't read your story. For example, you start with "In a world where crimson eyes...
