You've just
completed the Great American Novel. You've done everything you've been told to
do. You've created compelling characters and plopped them right smack in the
middle of emotional/physical conflict. You've engaged the reader with your
perfectly executed plot and subplots. You've edited and proofed and allowed
your baby to be critiqued by your writer's group.
Now it's time to
share the pictures and see if anyone wants to hold her. So you register for a
writer's conference where editors, agents, critiquers, and contest judges may
ask for a synopsis.
