Answer each of the following questions. Use just one sentence in each answer.

• How did your protagonist get involved in the story?
• What conflict arises to move the novella forward?
• What is the broad setting of your novella?
• What is the main thing that that will make your novella interesting to readers?

Combine the above information into a paragraph of fewer than 50 words.

Write a one-page synopsis in the following format:

• Use the paragraph you’ve just written.
• Then, in one paragraph, explain the plot points involving your main character. Mention only the main plot points. Mention the most important secondary characters.
• Then, in one paragraph, describe how the novella’s main conflicts are resolved. Reveal the ending.
