OK so I finally had some writing time today and spent some time revising my log line and pitch. While I’ve read many things about how to query a literary agent (i.e., submit to an agent, the first step in the long publication process), the best information I’ve read so far is from The Writer’s Essential Tackle Box by Lynn Price. This book has been an invaluable resource these last several weeks as I’ve revised and prepped Book 1 for submission and (hopefully) publication.

The “log line” is the one or two sentence hook that sets out the main characters, conflict and plot of one’s book. Sort of like what a 15 second movie trailer would show about the full length feature. Here’s my latest attempt that took 2 hours:

The epic science fiction series, The Elarra Solstice, is about a reluctant warrior who returns to unify his ancient homeworld and find the woman in his dreams, the feisty admiral whose dedication is destroying her marriage, and the elusive terrorist who preserves the violence by consistently beating them to his next targets.

Thoughts?
