Focus on the conflict and changes. People are generally looking for themselves when they read. They want to see people in situations they can understand.

Summaries don't have to be long. But they do have to sum up what happens in a compelling way.

Try reading your summary as if it were written by somebody else. What do you think of it?

The summary is incredibly important because it is the first or second thing an intern or agency runner will read when sorting through the hundreds of daily of submissions. "What should I show my boss?"
