The Childrens Author by Ronald K. Jones - Drama - Ultra-conservative children's author, Margarete Ferrell, has her beliefs and humanity tested when a black family moves in next door with an adopted 8-year-old West African boy whose unchristian, tribal beliefs ignite suspicion and prejudice in her and her typical American middle class family (circa early 21st Century). It takes a near fatal stroke suffered by Margarete's aging husband to bring the festering wounds and fears between the family and its neighbors out into the open, and to a final resolving of their conflicts, even curing Margarete's terrible writer's block. 64 pages - pdf, format

From reading your logline, I can tell you that I rally really want to read this. Anything involving racial prejudice has to be good! However, I can't get past the first page, because your action paragraphs are in CAPS!

Sorry

Not too sure that you need all the character information here ...

And the CAPS is very off-putting.

Re. you log-line - it appears to be almost a synopsis.

## EXT.SHOT OF
-- not need to specify 'shot' in your slug line.

INT, POLICE STATION
-- should be
INT. POLICE STATION - DAY

Your dialogue lines aren't formatted correctly - looks like you may not be using any additional software to help you write this?

I think you need to check a couple of scripts, really, to see how they look and how they are written.
