Who is the protagonist, the book editor or the writer?
Holding the writer hostage for what? What do his literary creations want?
What are the stakes? What happens to the writer if the his literary creations don’t get what they want?
revision of your initial logline
A book editor visits the home of a horror writer where she finds his creations are holding him hostage.
Shorter and more to the point 🙂
But if you can add a few words as dpg suggests I agree it would be stronger
Why is the editor being ‘female’ important? And instead of ‘visits’ (boring!), put that she goes searching for him, or something… and she has to free him by the time of his book launch.
This is a could-be-good though.
Nobody can really write your logline for you because you’re the only one who truly knows your story, but I’m going to give it a go:
“A newly appointed and downtrodden female book editor must rescue her agency’s most coveted horror writer when she discovers that his monstrous creations are holding him hostage.”
At least this version contains many of the required story elements that need to go into a logline: main character + flaw; goal; antagonist/obstacle; theme; stakes.
Good luck with a rewrite…
