Overview

A Logline is the spine, the cornerstone, of a screenplay. In 35 - 45 words a writer must be able to distill down the very essence of a film story, including protagonist, antagonist, setting, inciting incident, conflict, and jeopardy. (These two sentences describing a logline took 39 words.) After publishing more than 200 loglines via his blog and social media, King decided to collect the best and publish them along with instructions on how to write a logline that will gain attention. This quick reference guide can be used to learn the art and craft of writing the all-important logline, as well as an inspirational tool for writers or producers searching for their next blockbuster.
