“For the last decade and a half, I have used Alicia Rasley’s extraordinary Synopsis class notes folder every time I sell a story to an NYC editor. Her method has never failed me. Rasley breaks apart a critical and difficult task and (almost) makes it fun, something this writer never thought remotely possible.” Sophia Nash

Alicia makes writing relatable. She offers so many concrete examples, it makes it very easy to improve.

Alicia pulls examples from Greek classics to Shakespeare to Harry Potter, and especially from the audience, and handles them all with expertise.

I’ve seen Casablanca a thousand times, but now thanks to Alicia, I finally understand how to use its example to build a rounder character.
