Mslexia Women's Writing Days: A Working Synopsis
Fri 27 Mar 2026 to Sun 29 Mar 2026
In the first of our new series of Mslexia one-day online masterclasses, award-winning novelist and tutor Manya Wilkinson will help you develop a working synopsis.

This 300-word document will act as a blueprint and focus for your novel: to steer your manuscript while you're writing, to anchor your thinking when you're editing, and to serve as the basis of your submission when it's finished.

Manya's unique day-long masterclass will take you through a variety of structuring techniques and exercises that will help you peel away the outer layers of your book to reveal its beating heart.

What you'll leave with
• 5-point plan for structuring your novel to work through until you finish your manuscript
• 300-word working synopsis, which is the guide map of your novel
• 150-word core concept for your pitch letter, which is essential when pitching to agents

This Writing Day is ideal for you if:
• Your first draft isn't working, and you're not sure why
• You're stuck in the middle of your story and want an expert to guide you through
• You have a great idea, but don't know how to develop it
• You're passionate about your craft and want to learn more

Dates: Choose from Friday 27 March or Sunday 29 March 2026 at 10am-4pm.
