Four misfit teenage girls form an all-girls band.  Years later,  their feral daughters try and win a song competition and recording contract. You don’t always get the kids you want, you get the kids you deserve.

Fun concept, Lisa Penner Dang.

I think your logline needs a little work. Here's a logline suggestion: Years after four misfit teenagers form an all-girls band, their feral daughters try to win a song competition and recording contract ___________ (the stakes).

I think "You don’t always get the kids you want, you get the kids you deserve" would work as a tagline.

Question: Do you need permission to write about true crime?

Great Q!

Thank you everyone for all of this great advice. I should probably just focus on one of the original ideas that I have and leave this one alone.
