Cooking it Up
Have you boiled your book down to a two page summary? Did you cook it some more and turn it into a two paragraph query? Further still, an elevator pitch?
Here is the ultimate challenge -- the logline.
If you've always imagined your book as a movie, this free contest is for you.
On May 20th, Scott Myers will be accepting your logline. If he likes it, you'll join him for a 24-week Screenwriting Master Class. And, if you play your cards right, at the end of it you'll have a completed script along with access to Hollywood insiders.
That's fancy.
If nothing else, this competition forces you to encapsulate your story so that it fits into a single breath. It's hard as hell to do, but a good work out for any writer.
So, good luck!
Key dates and some instructions can be found here at THE QUEST.
