Thanks, David - and Jenny Savill.
Sounds like fun.

Fantastic! I hear she has just taken on Ellen Renner, so she has good taste

Sounds great!

How detailed should the synopsis be? Is this a chapter by chapter synopsis or a one page (or less?) outline of the book?

Assuming it follows the same structure of the other WW Masterclasses, then go with a 1-2 page synopsis; an overview of the novel, rather than a chapter by chapter outline.

I will check with Jenny, but am almost certain that Naomi is right. She's looking for a general 1 page synopsis, 2 at absolute most.

Just bumping this up to remind you all; only a few days to go to upload your work!
