This channel is one of the better places for writing tips. It clarifies the tricks of the trade--and not about the host trying to sell their egotistic personalities or boasting on how much they know, not limited to demeaning or discouraging new writers. However, it gives you an idea of the emptiness to expect in those hosts' works. Good job Jericho Writers.
This guy is great. In watching some of the other videos on TH-cam I have been alienated by the elite and condescending attitude of the Agents and others in this industry. This guy is full of enthusiasm and good will towards the author. Thank You Sir!
Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I believe my synopsis was my downfall for several literary agents. With your simple guide, and suggestions I have reworked my summary. It shines now. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. I had boiled my novel down to several pages, but was seriously stuck. I hadn't even finished your video when I managed to produce 500 words from scratch. Your advice was revelatory. Happy new year!
Superb. Thank you. Clear, concise, practical. As a result of finding your videos I have paid my subscription and joined Jericho Writers. I feel I've written a pretty decent commercial novel. I now feel far more optimistic I will be able to get it published.
Absolutely invaluable insight into something that seems so incredibly daunting. I will soon be tackling my synopsis and will definitely be referring back to this video. Thank you!
Thank you very much, you have made something so complicated seem a lot easier and as I was watching I could see how and where I could fit parts of my novel into those categories. Thank you
I think that was the clearest explanation of how to write a decent synopsis that I've ever come across . It's even better than how literary agents describe it. Brilliant, thanks for uploading this and the other excellent tutorials. I think you're incredibly gifted!
Does it have to be 500 words,? Also could a the storyline be enough ? I believe my storyline would be enough information to let someone know if they want to read it ?
Great info, but I’m a idiot and still finding it hard to write my synopsis for my 13 page story. The difference between not having it as a blurb or a pitch. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This video does not have enough views to reflect its value, very great learning experience.
"The synopsis is the emotional shape of the book." That's what I'm taking away from this helpful video.

Super helpful in cleaning up my mess of a synopsis! Thank you!
Thank you for this. You completely eliminated the overwhelm I have been struggling with!
This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you!!!!
So easy... unless you have multiple POV characters. I have three. Getting that in 800 words will be interesting!
Love this!! I shared it on my author page. Thank you.
Concise, precise and well told. Thanks Harry.
I never respond to these things but i gotta say thanks man! This really helped.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing ..🙋🏼
Amazingly good!
Thank you
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
I love this guy 👦❤this is vary creative and helpful 👏
Great video!
Make sure you all include the whole story (told in a tone like a Wikipedia article) in the synopsis as agents want that.
Thanks
Thanks a lot
We appreciate you 🙏
Saw this while I was writing my book. Just finished and cane back to it. Fabulous video.
Excellent video 👍
Can we put names in bold for fiction?
Should I include the twist ending in the synopsis?
Thank you very much.
Does it have to be 500 words,? Also could a the storyline be enough ? I believe my storyline would be enough information to let someone know if they want to read it ?
Am I supposed to highlight or capitalize characters name as I introduce them? I’ve seen this in some synopses
Great info, but I’m a idiot and still finding it hard to write my synopsis for my 13 page story. The difference between not having it as a blurb or a pitch. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Well I've spent half a day trying to get this to work-and I'm strugglin - does that mean my story is no good or too complicated
Is it better to reveal the end of the story in the synopsis?
I would have thought it's essential. The synopsis is there to inform an agent about your book as opposed to enthral a reader.
Unless you're writing a time travel with two POVs and two different eras going at the same time. Not so simple.
Whay a dumb thing to do. 500 words. Why? That is utterly useless. I dont care what the protocal or tradition is.
