Log lines
A log line is a brief summary of a novel, film, or story that provides a synopsis of the plot and an emotional "hook" to stimulate interest. Log lines are usually just a line or two and are a useful selling tool for pitching your book or film. Some writers like to create a log line before they begin a writing project, believing that if the idea is clear in a short form it will help them keep focused on the longer form.
