Hi. It would be nice if I could get some feedback on my logline:
After social services threatens to take her little sister away, a beautiful girl from a poor family gets the money to save her by becoming a front for a local gangster.
Thanks!

Hi Treodor

Is the fact the girl is beautiful relevant? or does she have a more relevant trait you can use instead (Plus beautiful is a bit mundane, countless scripts use this word to describe female characters)

Again with the gangster, 'local' feels a bit weak - any other traits that would be a bit more evocative? (Ruthless, for example)

Something seems strange about "gets the money to save her" - sounds like you are telling us she has achieved her goal in the logline.

How about something a bit more like "... an impoverished girl strikes a deal with a ruthless gangster in order to save her"

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it
