Materi: Sinopsis dan Blurb
Pemateri: Rosida
Sumber: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blurb#cite_note-variety-3
Assalamualaikum. Wr. Wb.
Oke. Selamat malam, hari ini aku mau share Sinopsis dan Blurb.
Apa itu Sinopsis? Apa itu Blurb? Apa mereka sama?
-beda
Yup, sinop sama blurb itu beda ya, rata-rata pasti udah tahu ya perbedaannya. Oke, di sini aku mau ingetin lagi perbedaannya, aku mau jelasin sinop dulu ya,
Kalau merujuk KBBI sinopsis adalah,
si.nop.sis
n karangan yang biasanya diterbitkan bersama-sama dengan karangan asli yang menjadi dasar sinopsis itu; ringkasan; abstraksi
n Sen yang berisi cuplikan seluruh adegan sehingga membentuk tema cerita
Jadi, sinopsis adalah ringkasan dari sebuah cerita yang mencangkup, perkenalan, konflik, klimaks, ending. Semuanya diringkas menjadi padat sepadat padatnya.
Dalam membuat sinop itu sendiri kita nggak usah bertele-tele, langsung hajar, enggak usah ada kata-kata mutiara juga, karena itu cuma buang-buang waktu. Dan setahu aku, sinop itu max panjangnya sekitar 2 lembar di Ms. Word. Tapi, ada yang bilang 2 lembar itu juga kepanjangan, selagi bisa dipadatin, ya padatin aja jadi satu lembar misal.
Oke, udah paham kan apa itu sinop? Sekarang kita lanjut ke blurb
Aku ambil di Wikipedia, dan kata Wiki blurb itu,
A blurb is a short promotional piece accompanying a creative work. It may be written by the author or publisher or quote praise from others. Blurbs were originally printed on the back or rear dust-jacket of a book, and are now found on DVD and video cases, web portals, and news websites. A blurb may introduce a newspaper or magazine feature story.
A blurb on a book can be any combination of quotes from the work, the author, the publisher, reviewers or fans, a summary of the plot, a biography of the author or simply claims about the importance of the work.
In the 1980s, Spy ran a regular feature called "Logrolling in Our Time" which exposed writers who wrote blurbs for one another's books.

Perlu terjemahan? Ahaha
adalah bagian promosi singkat yang menyertai karya kreatif. Ini bisa ditulis oleh penulis atau penerbit atau kutipan pujian dari orang lain. Blurbs awalnya dicetak di jaket belakang atau belakang dari sebuah buku, dan sekarang ditemukan di DVD dan video cases, web portal, dan situs berita. Sebuah uraian dapat memperkenalkan cerita majalah atau majalah.
di sebuah buku bisa menjadi kombinasi kutipan dari karya, penulis, penerbit, pengulas atau penggemar, ringkasan dari plot, biografi penulis atau hanya klaim tentang pentingnya pekerjaan. Pada tahun 1980an, Spy menjalankan sebuah fitur biasa yang disebut "Logrolling in Our Time" yang mengekspos penulis yang menulis uraian untuk satu sama lain.
Jadi, intinya. Blurb adalah uraian singkat yang sering ada di belakang kover novel-novel itu. Blurb biasanya singkat, enggak panjang-panjang. Hanya 200-300 words, dan itu udah panjang, kepanjangan malah.
Menurut aku ya, 300 words itu udah kepanjangan (haha)
Jadi, sekarang udah ingat ya, sinop adalah ringkasan sebuah cerita secara keseluruhan. Sedangkan blurb adalah uraian singkat yang sering ada di kover belakang novel. Kalau di wepe disebut deskripsi cerita ya
Aku mau kasih tips menulis sinop dan blurb, ya. Ini tips membuat sinop dan blurb dari aku, kalau ada yang mau nambahin juga boleh.
Yang pertama membuat sinop.
1. Dalam membuat sinop kita harus jujur. Kenapa jujur? Ya, karena dalam pembuatan sinop itu enggak ada yang boleh dirahasiakan. Mesti dibeberin semua dari awal hingga akhir.
2. Dibuat sepadat-padatnya. Jangan sampai ada kata-kata yang terbuang. Nggak boleh bertele-tele seperti yang dibilang tadi.
Yang kedua membuat blurb
1. Dalam pembuatan blurb, sebisa mungkin blurb yang kita buat itu menarik dan bikin penasaran. Itu dua poin yang sangat penting. Kalau blurb kita menarik dan bikin penasaran, otomatis pembaca pun akan tertarik dan penasaran ingin membaca cerita kita.
2. Kita juga bisa bikin blurb dari premis yang kita punya. Terus tinggal dipoles dikit-dikit deh.

3. Buat blurb jangan terlalu panjang, apalagi kalau isinya yang enggak ada kaitannya sama sekali dengan cerita. Itu jelas jangan. Karena dengan begitu, pembaca akan lari dan mencari cerita yang lain.
Tujuan dibuatnya blurb kan untuk menarik pembaca. Maka, buatlah blurbmu semenarik mungkin dan buat blurb yang bisa benar-benar membuat pembaca penasaran hingga dia ingin mengetahui kelanjutan ceritamu.
Sharing dari aku udah selesai segitu, kalau misal ada yang mau tambahin juga boleh.
Q1: Kak, misalnya kita mau promosiin cerita, lalu lebih baik kita nyantumin sinopsis atau blurb nya?
A1: Kalau mau promosiin, menurut aku sih cantumin blurb dong ya, dan buatlah blurb semenarik mungkin yang bikin orang penasaran pengin baca
Q2: Di blurb, kan td dijelaakan dr wikipedia kalau blurb itu bagian dr promosi. Nah bs dr penulis, penerbit, atau pujian dr pembaca. Contoh blurb pujian dr pembaca spt apa? Berarti hrs ada yg sudah pernah membaca cerita itu sebelimnya dong? Berarti blurbnya pada cetakan kedua?
A1: Aku ganemu nopelnya huhu. Iya, si pembaca itu baca ceritanya terlebih dahulu, yang aku tahu ya biasanya yang baca itu sesama penulis yang bukunya diterbitin di penerbit yang sama. kalau blurbnya pada cetakan kedua, aku kurang tahu hihi. Beritahu kalau aku salah 😁
📚📚📚
Nah, Fams. Udah tahu, kan apa itu Blurb dan Sinopsis, jangan kebalik loh yaa.
Semoga sharing kali ini bermanfaat, ya. Sampai jumpa di sharing materi selanjutnya.
Sekian dan terima kasih.

Becoming The Wolfman
Hello everyone. I’m an avid reader but I’ve never tried writing my own novel to be published. So I’m going for it on Royal Road and let's see what happens. Prologue My story begins while working as a Security Officer. I’m Bill501 aka the Wolfman as I have about 15 different Wolf tattoos. Not that you would know it since I have to cover them all for work. I’m sitting at my desk waiting for lunchtime and greeting all the employees in the building as they walk by. All the sudden I have a splitting headache and I’m trying not to show it because I don’t have sick time and I don’t want to go home sick and lose money. Suddenly a screen comes up but it just looks like floating text. It says Welcome to the System. Hell I read at least 5 novels a week that start that way so I’m like hell yeah so worth the headache. I’m over here saying status and character screen and anything else I can think of to bring up my stats and it doesn’t do shit…. 15 minutes later I get a message that says loading…..

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
