One of Celtx’s first three new “Learning Templates” is a tool pack for script development: “The Writer’s Development Kit”. I can highly recommend it, not only because of its ridiculously low price, but also because I wrote it.(*)
There has been a lot of confusion about the terms logline, synopsis, and treatment so I try to shed some light on those as well as give you guidance on how to write them.
I designed this small learning package for writers with projects in development and I believe most beginning screenwriters would benefit from using it.
Here is the link again: http://tsd.im/kit.
Should you need a more in-depth discussion on Loglines and Synopses, check out my training packs.
Enjoy!

(*) As Celtx is no longer offering the Kit as a standalone learning package, all the links in this article have been replaced with direct, free download links. Enjoy!
Karel Segers wrote his first produced screenplay at age 17. Today he is a story analyst with experience in acquisition, development and production. He has trained students worldwide, and worked with half a dozen Academy Award nominees. Karel speaks more European languages than he has fingers on his left hand, which he is still trying to find a use for in his hometown of Sydney, Australia. The languages, not the fingers.

Unfortunately Celtx geniuses are not supporting those files any longer. It´s a shame. My lap was stolen and the only “cloud” copy i had left it´s in Celtx studio and I cannot download it, even if i paid the Celtx plus software. Thanks for that wonderful file. I was truly helpful.
Greetings.
Hi Ray, Thank you for your comment. I will update the links in this article, as the rights have reverted back to me. Meanwhile, you can download it here: http://tsd.im/kit.
Did you know that I recently ran advanced webinars on writing loglines and synopses? You can find them here: http://thestoryseries.net/shop.
