How to create a (very) short synopsis of your story

I have had stories that follow the villain, but there has to be someone opposing the bad guy.

While summarizing, I concentrate on the middle part, make it thorough. Than take out all the key stuff that suit both beginning and ending.

Thanks for the link! I've been looking for something exactly like this. Here's another great article about writing a synopsis:

I like this. I'm adding it to my process. I'm in the middle of submitting my first novel and I've had to write a one page synopsis, a three page, a two page, a half page and a 1500 character one as well. Seems like every place has its own version of a synopsis that they want.
