Hi, Jeevan Lal. Hope you're doing great. I suggest adding more information to your profile bio. A detailed bio will help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became a screenwriter, your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies and shows you like.

Maurice has provided a lot of wonderful advice here, Jeevan Lal! What are your novels about?

Logline.

"From the ashes of tragedy emerges a second chance at love. In a twist of fate, Ajay and Maya are reunited after twenty-five years, but as Maya has moved on with a family of her own, the path to rekindling their love is fraught with complexities. Amidst the joy of Ajay's return, the fate of their love child, Sandhya, remains a poignant question mark, adding layers of emotion to their journey of rediscovery."

Sounds interesting, Jeevan Lal. I think your logline needs to be tightened up though. It's really long (73 words). Try to keep your logline to 35 words or less.

Here’s a logline template that might help:

“After/when ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the main flaw that the main character has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the main character’s personality) _______ (the main character’s position/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes).”

The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline: “A _______ (the main flaw that the main character has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the main character’s personality) _______ (the main character’s position/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes) after/when ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion).”

Loglines are one or two sentences. A one-sentence logline sounds better, and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it.

Avoid using “must” in loglines. “Must” sounds like the main character is forced to do the goal of the story instead of doing it willingly, and “must” doesn’t sound active. Audrey Knox (a TV literary manager) also said this during a logline review webinar on Stage 32 (www.stage32.com/webinars/The-Write-Now-Challenge-The-Logline-Review-with...). Sometimes "must" is needed in a logline though, like when the main character is forced by another character to do the story goal.

Names in loglines are usually for biopics, well-known stories, and franchises (like “Mission: Impossible”).
