Thank you for doing this Courtney. I am working on loglines right now for my novel in progress. I am losing my way a bit in this fifth draft revision and distilling the book into one sentence and putting it on a sticky note (and possibly stamping it on my forehead, too) just might get me out of the woods and into the clearing again. Now I have a wonderful reason to do the very best job I can and send it off to you.
Thank you so much for the info about Quilted Press and their Kickstarter! I’m a bisexual woman writing a polyam not-quite-romance novel at the moment so learning of others with their fingers on the pulse of those worlds is so affirming and gives me hope that my story might resonate with more than just me.
This is great! I've been experimenting with using loglines to help me stay on track in my Substack newsletter. Don't know how "good" mine are but I think they're really helping! I love different people's takes on what goes in a logline. Gotta polish something up for my WIP and send it over!
So fun to read--and work on--loglines, which have to be one of the most fun and frustrating parts of a book creation, perhaps only second imho to the dreaded synopsis. My next novel is being published in spring and I'm working on the long, the short, and the very short descriptions now. Thanks for the post.
This would be an adaptation from a screenplay into a novel.
THE EXILED HEART
Set against the backdrop of occupied France and 1948 Manhattan, a haunted death camp survivor falls in love with the Spanish pilot who may know the fate of the newborn son she smuggled to safety during the war.
