What is a Plot Summary?

A plot summary is a brief overview of your entire story. It’s the first thing your readers read, and in that moment, they’re forming an idea of what the story is about. If your plot summary isn’t effective, your entire story could be bungled before it ever makes it to the page.

Why Create a Plot Summary?

The most important aspect of a plot summary is that you want to get it right. If you don’t get this right, then your story will fall flat on its face. With a plot summary in place, you’ll be able to avoid these major problems that could keep your readers away:

Spoilers - If you don’t include a plot summary, then you’ll be ruining the experience for your readers before they even get to read your story.

Misleading descriptions - Your plot summary needs to be as accurate as possible. You can’t just throw in whatever information you want in there.

Incorrect that is, confusing - If your plot summary is confusing, then your readers will be confused as to what they’re reading. They might get confused as to where they are in the story and how they got there.
