Logline & Synopsis Development
A sharp logline and a screen-focused synopsis that communicate your story quickly and clearly.
Say it in a sentence.
A logline and synopsis are often the first things read when a project is considered. They need to be short, clear and compelling.
Phoenix develops both around the screen version of your story rather than the book's back-cover copy. Book-to-screen work is exploratory. Phoenix helps you prepare and pursue opportunities, but no service can guarantee representation, adaptation, sale, financing, production or placement.
What we can do
Logline
One to two sentences capturing protagonist, goal and conflict.
Short Synopsis
A one-page overview of the screen story.
Extended Synopsis
A longer version when more detail is useful.
Who it's for
- Novelists with a standalone or series
- Non-fiction authors with a true or narrative story
- Published and self-published authors
- Authors exploring film or television for the first time
- Authors with existing adaptation interest who need materials

Why Phoenix
We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect logline & synopsis development with the editing, publishing, marketing or media work around it, so each piece supports the next. We explain what we recommend and why, agree the scope with you before starting, and never promise sales, rankings, coverage or reviews.
