Not exclusive to screenplays, many writers create loglines to succinctly answer the question, “What’s your screenplay about?” or “Tell me a little bit about your book.”
Similar to an “elevator pitch,” a logline is a one or two sentence description of the story you want to convey to your audience or readers. For example, here’s the logline for the movie, Titanic:
A young man and woman from different social classes fall in love aboard an ill-fated voyage at sea.
I’m currently working on the logline for my next book, The Business of Being. Subject to change, here’s what I’ve got so far:
This book isn’t about being in business; it’s about the business of being. Spotlighting the intersection of corporate core values and personal virtues, The Business of Being helps you thrive in business and life.
If your life were a book, what would the logline be?
