So this may be the silliest thread you've ever seen, I would accept that. But someone, help me out here. I can't seem to nail down the difference between a summary and a synopsis. Google had only gotten me so far, and each website seems to have a different opinion on how to write each. I ask because I'm going to begin querying soon, and I don't want to send an editor who asked for a synopsis a summary instead. Main problem for me- which one is the back of a book blurb and which one do you outline the major events of the book, including the ending?? You'd think this was a simple thing... Anyway, sorry if I started a new thread that already exists somewhere else. I couldn't find anything when I looked in the forum.
