# Story Synopsis Generator

Condense your full plot into a synopsis that includes the ending, formatted for literary agents, back cover copy, or writing groups

Category: Creative

## Prompt template

```
I have a full plot and need it condensed into a synopsis, not a teaser. The ending needs to be in there.

Here's my story: [STORY_SUMMARY] (plot, main characters, and the ending, in as much detail as you have)

The genre is [GENRE:select:fantasy,romance,horror,mystery or thriller,science fiction,literary fiction,young adult].

The length I need is [LENGTH:select:one-paragraph elevator pitch,half-page query synopsis,full one-to-two-page synopsis].

Who this synopsis is for: [AUDIENCE:select:literary agent or query letter,back cover copy,pitch to a writing group].

Write a synopsis that matches [LENGTH] and fits the conventions [AUDIENCE] expects, written in third person present tense where that convention applies. Include the ending. A synopsis that hides it isn't doing its job. While you condense the plot, note any gaps, plot holes, or pacing problems you notice in the summary I gave you, since those are often easier to spot from the outside than from inside the full manuscript.
```
