The logline is not unlike copywriting…. In just a few sentences you must be able to tell your stories´ beginning, middle and end. Its what you leave behind after a pitch or what you include in a querry letter. Its what producers remember and rely on when they sell you, your pitch and, ultimately, your story to the “money men.”

A hands on how to guide on composing the perfect and professional query letter. A query letter is the hook, line and sinker that will open the door to you and your script. Its the one-page proclamation that entices an agent and or producer to read your script and to get to know you.
