Surprisingly, while there is some overlap, not all soap fans are romance readers, and vice-versa.
This is a situation that must be rectified, as too many people are missing out on too much good stuff.
To that end, Joan Reeves, contributor to Summer Fire: Love When It's Hot Contemporary Romance Collection, offers this delicious tease of what's in store for you. With 21 different stories, there is bound to be something for everyone! Check it out and enjoy!
It's All in the Logline
by Joan Reeves
Logline is a script writing term. It's the one sentence used by those in the television and motion picture industry to pitch their project to the powers that be. Gradually, the logline, or short pitch, gained popularity with book publishing editors and agents as a quick way to see if an author had a focused story.
Fast Forward to Today
In today's publishing and self-publishing world, most authors commonly use the logline as a "tagline" to describe their books to readers. Distilling an entire book into one sentence is, as you might imagine, difficult. For many authors, it's harder than writing the book! Sometimes, an author uses two sentences because getting it all in one is just about impossible.
Here's a tip for Authors who may not have mastered the logline yet. Imagine your book as a movie poster. What would the few words of text emblazoned on the poster say?
21 Bestselling Authors
The logline is crucial for authors in a box set. When there are 21 authors in a box set, the need for each to generate a short but evocative sentence is crucial. The authors of Summer Fire: Love When It's Hot Contemporary Romance Collection were tasked with this for not only the Book Description posted at all ebook sellers webpages but also for the Video I created for the box set.
I think these authors did an amazing job. Read the loglines below from the Summer Fire Authors and tell me what you think.
