WD, I was taught that all synopses, regardless of the voice and tense of the book, are in third person present tense. There's no dialogue, but the narrative voice used gives the reader the right feel. You don't list characters or go chapter by chapter (which would be so much easier) but identify your character's story arc--who is she, what's her problem, what does she do about it, what gets in her way, what does she do about that, and of course the conclusion. Secondary plots can be ignored or mentioned in passing.
A lot depends on whether you're writing a one-pager, three-to-five pages, or a full and detailed synopsis of, what, ten to twenty?
Suki, I think I self-distracted with the osage oranges. Happy book birthday!
Dragon, since your first name is pretty unique (so's my real first name), branding using it makes good sense. I like the idea of getting it in there early, as your publisher seems to, even though the flow of the one the podcast producer likes pleases me more. (Hard to believe it's not about pleasing me, isn't it?)
About all that's left to decide is which of the other three elements you want and in what order. M@gic is a given, obviously. Which is stronger, M@yhem or Myth? Or do you want to incorporate all three?
M@er's Myths and Magic <--I'm not crazy about the possessive form
M@er, M@gic, and Myth
M@er: M@gic, Myth, and M@yhem
So I guess my choice of the ones you offered is "None of the above."
Maryn, not at all helpful
