*Synopsis:

A Spec. Synopsis is a 1-3 page written pitch, single-spaced, and written in present-tense form

with no dialog, "It emphasizes the crucial moments, the key events in your story, and the

emotional highs and lows of your characters.  It not only tells the story, it sells the story.

It can become a marketing piece for your work."
