Hi Nola - thanks for this. Writing loglines and taglines is certainly not easy.
I'm struggling to remember a good tagline - though I do like this one from the Cancer Council (I think) Cancer is a word, not a sentence :) (okay, not a movie or book).
Hi Jenny - Thanks for that. Though it's not a book or movie, it certainly has all the hallmarks of a great tagline. I guess they're used in marketing in general. A lot of good ad campaigns use those catchphrases. They look so easy, but it's hard to come up with a good one. Another one that comes to mind is 'Have a break. Have a Kit Kat.' A nice play on words in that a break is a rest but also something you do when you snap that Kit Kat in half. Speaking of which, I could go for one right now. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Nola. I've heard of them before but you've explained them so well. I'll make another attempt to find suitable log lines and taglines for my books.
Thanks for that feedback, Hazel. I need to write them for my own book, so I thought I'd better research them. Easier to write about them than actually make up your own. But when you see a good one, it really grabs you. Good luck with yours. Thanks for commenting.
