Workshop: Nail Your Story In One Sentence with the Log Line

Do you want to save time when brainstorming, writing, and fixing your novels—and have a great pitch?

In this class, you’ll learn to distill your entire plot into a single-sentence log line—a powerful tool to test ideas, guide your draft, steer revisions, and sell your story. Whether you’re a plotter, a pantser/discovery writer, or somewhere in between, use a log line to save time and avoid frustration while writing, then pitch with confidence!

You’ll walk away with a single, cohesive sentence about your story that you can use for plot development, revision, and marketing.

About the class:

Who this is for: Fiction and creative nonfiction writers

Class type: Interactive workshop

Length: 2 hours

What you’ll learn:

How to use the log line to:

  • Spark and test story ideas before you invest months of writing

  • Spot plot holes before (or after) they derail your draft

  • Stay focused and confident while drafting or revising

  • Rescue a broken story with a single guiding sentence

  • Write pitches, queries, and book descriptions that stand out

What you’ll get:

  • Live, interactive teaching (with real-time feedback on your log line)

  • A reusable PDF worksheet with templates to craft log lines for future projects

  • Class slides and session replay for review

  • Downloadable sample log lines + notes from in-class exercises

  • A polished log line for your current story—and the skills to make more

  • A solid understanding of how to turn your log line into an elevator pitch, hook, and other marketing copy

Paying for one-on-one coaching with me to create your log line and elevator pitch would cost upwards of $215 CAD (or ~$156 USD).

For other workshops like this with live, interactive teaching and direct feedback on your work, you would pay up to $160 CAD (or ~$115 USD).
