Hi All: With respect to LOGLINE REVIEW STARS, if you leave a one- or two-star review, kindly leave a comment as to how to improve the logline constructively. Yes, it's a harsh world out there and we're not trying to sugarcoat that, but Stage 32 exists to build up, encourage and educate. My personal rule is that if a one-two star review applies, I do not mark one or two stars. Instead, I choose only to leave ways to improve it until the logline is indeed improved. Thanks so much!

I think doing it this way will really help writers and other creatives make their loglines better, Leonardo Ramirez 2. Let's help each other make our loglines shine so we can get script requests, options, and sales, everyone!

Leonardo Ramirez 2 this is a great reminder. I personally struggle with loglines a bit, but a bad logline doesn't mean a bad story. It's a skill like anything else that will get better with practice.

Very well said, Maurice Vaughan. It's about getting those requests and options that is the goal.

You are absolutely right, Jill Godley. An amazing story can have a logline that doesn't reflect the story itself. It's simple mechanics and an easy fix if we're open to feedback. But without the feedback, there's no direction.

Writing loglines to effectively convey what you want them to about your project and get someone excited about it is hard. It’s one of the hardest things to do and takes a lot of effort to make it look effortless. Well done for encouraging constructive feedback.

Maybe eliminate 1 & 2 star options. If you can't give at least a 3, then respond with constructive criticism as you say.

Some variation of that is a great suggestion for the programmers, Herb Schultz. Thanks!
