Writing a synopsis

Join Olivia Chapman as she leads this 90-minute workshop teaching you a practical way on how to write a synopsis for submission to an agent, producer or for a competition.

You will be given four tasks of between 7-10 minutes during the workshop, for which it would be useful to have four fresh pieces of A4 paper or a new Word document available. The aim of this workshop is not to get you to write the synopsis during the 90 minutes, but to give you the tools and structure so that you can come back to your notes and use them as the basis of the synopsis you will write.
