Publisher's summary

What's your story about?

Do you answer with a blank stare when someone asks you that question? Do you have trouble writing your Amazon description? What if you had an attention-grabbing way to leave your audience begging for more?

Story consultant and author Jordan Smith has taken a powerful technique used by professional Hollywood screenwriters to sell their scripts and made it accessible to everyone with Finding the Core of Your Story. It's called a logline--and once you know about it, you'll want to create one for every story you write. Whether you write novels, movies, comic books, songs, or even operas, this book is for you.

Must listen

A ton of info that’s really important — told in a fun way.

If you’re serious about your idea, this is a must listen. Not too long.

Pretty good but short

I thought this had some pretty insightful tips. I’m not sure if the short time was worth the four dollars and change.

Well done and informative.

Lots of useful information. The narrator was really good and kept my attention easily. His voice is expressive and easy to listen to.
