Test Drive
Inject the summary with a touch of narrative voice that matches the protagonist’s personality or the overall tone of the story. It should included:
Character: Who is the main character? What do they want? What do they stand to lose if they don’t achieve that goal? What is compelling about their personality and narrative voice?
Plot: What is interesting about the story world or setting? What’s the inciting incident? What obstacles stand in the way of the protagonist’s goals?
Originality: What new twist or feature does the story add to this genre? What is the “unique selling point” of this book?
