Come On Already Smile

(No, the title's not missing a comma.) 



Synopsis:Acting student Gianna Vonderson has a captivating smile, 
but no one at the Tri-States Beauty Pageant knows what hides behind it.

>> YUSSSSSS. I would have said Drama if I had to declare to a genre, but that also sort of seemed like the easy way out.

I was so confused when I finished the first draft that I did something I never do: gave the story to The Missus for her opinion on the question.

If pressed, I might have said "Historical Fiction" -- but I don't think I could have said it with a straight face. Lol.

Self-Less

When Christina, a popular actress on State TV, finds herself pregnant, she knows she won’t be allowed to keep her baby. But she never expected the government would force her to give the baby to its father and his fake TV boyfriend.


(I'm so impressed by all of your synopses! Can't wait to read these!)

Title: Fatty Boy

Synopsis: When Toby sees a woman being abused on the tubehe triesto overcome his fear of bullies and become a hero. 

I need to learn how to write a synopsis that is more than factual. Some of the synopses on here are incredible!

Whose? I'm presuming 'Self-less' the post before yours? I love your synopsis! And your title, for me especially as a teacher who hears all sorts of awful comments amongst kids at school, is priceless!!

I have no bloody idea what I wrote! It definitely had 'Historical Fiction' as a part of it.....actually thinking now through the still thick headache I have...... A LOT of HF. But, probably more drama/suspense perhaps?

YES!! to this... I still have no idea what genre mine's in... not Drama... but not really anything else either. Tongue
