March 21: How to Slay the Perfect Synopsis

March 14, 2023 By Jeremy Madsen

A discussion with romantic suspense author Robin M. King

March 21, 2023, 12:00–1:00 pm Mountain Time

You’ve written a killer book, but many agents want a synopsis with your query. Learn the easiest ways to make a killing with your synopsis. Don’t have a book written yet? Robin will show you how to create and use a premeditated synopsis for your future books. She’ll also give tips for executing back-cover copy that slaughters the competition of other indie authors.

Bio: Robin M. King is the author of the romantic suspense novels Remembrandt, Van Gogh Gone, and Memory of Monet. She received her bachelor’s degree in education from BYU and has been teaching for over fifteen years. When she’s not writing books or being a copywriter for LitJoy Crate, she leads a clandestine life as a wife and mother of six. Don’t tell anyone, but she’s also an undercover marathoner, karateka, singer, seamstress, baker, and household appliance repairman. She’s represented by Liza Fleissig at the Liza Royce Agency.
