we're getting excited here in Zlin...can't say who the big star is just yet of this year's International Film Festival for Children and Youth, but you'd expect this cat to come for the 50th, not 49th...anyway, Upoutávka is "trailer" for films, but I have just a two sentence beginning to an article, and it is a printed "Upoutávka"...help please!

agree  Gerry Vickers: this could be as well - I think a 'book trailer' is in video form, come to think of it

logline


Explanation:
How about "logline"? That's written; it might be what you're looking for...
see for example http://www.scriptologist.com/Magazine/Tips/Logline/logline.h...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_line

This sentence might also be helpful
"Write a logline (one-sentence teaser) for your script or book. ..."
