Now's your chance to compete for some critterly prizes. (I've got a bunch of query and first chapter critiques to give away, courtesy of my beloved MSFV Success Stories Top Secret Society.)
Here's the deal:
- Write a FAKE LOGLINE! Your fake story HAS TO BE about AUTHORESS or THE BLOG or SOMETHING RELATING TO AUTHORESS OR THE BLOG.
- Just because it's fake doesn't mean it doesn't follow logline rules. WRITE YOUR LOGLINE THE CORRECT WAY.
- Your logline can be funny or intriguing or incredibly clever. But it has to BE A LOGLINE.
- Use THE WEB FORM to submit your logline.
- Maximum word count: 60 (shorter is better)
- Submissions will open at 8:00 EDT on Thursday, March 28 and will close at 8:00 EDT on Friday, March 29
- A maximum of 75 entries will be allowed. If that maximum is reached before the end of the submission window, the window will close.
- 2 alternates will be chosen, in the event that there are entries that do not meet the requirements (in which case, an alternate will take the place of the disqualified entry).
- All 75 entries will post on the blog on Tuesday, April 2.
- Round One: Blog readers may vote YES or NO on each entry, to determine whether the entry is good enough to go on to Round Two.
- Round Two: The top 30 loglines will be judged by Holly Bodger, our Logline Queen!
- A plethora of prizes will be disbursed.
- One Very Unique Prize will be awarded to a deserving Browncoat among the contestants. That's all I'm saying right now.
Roll up your sleeves and churn out your fake logline! Questions below.
Love this! Already have mine ready!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a log line?
ReplyDeleteDo you need a completed manuscript for the prizes?
ReplyDeleteA logline is like a pitch; a one or two sentence blurb the describes a book.
ReplyDeleteAfter this we should post the Beat Sheet...
ReplyDeleteI already have mine :)
Sounds like fun! Already my little brain is ticking!
