Peggy Bechko: Tips for Writing Your Logline or Blurb
by Peggy Bechko
Okay writers, time to focus. Whether you write books or scripts or both, you’ve heard this before. You’re going to have to learn to condense. You’ll need to create book blurbs or tweet length synopsis or loglines, or whatever you label it in order to promote your work and sell it.
