0/4 lessons complete 76 min
What you walk out with
You have a logline that sells, comparable titles that make sense to a financier, and a query that gets a reply.
THE LESSONS
Lesson 1 · 6 min · 2 exercises
The logline that actually earns a read
The premise is hard to summarise, or the pitch describes plot rather than hook.
Lesson 2 · 30 min · 2 exercises
Finding your three comparables
The script has no stated audience, or comps are aspirational rather than accurate.
Lesson 3 · 25 min · 2 exercises
The query that gets opened
Queries go unanswered, or read as mass-mailed.
Lesson 4 · 15 min · 2 exercises
Submit, compare, repeat
Rewrites happen on instinct, with no evidence that anything improved.
The assignment
Assemble a one-page submission packet: logline, two comparables with a reason, a three-paragraph query, and your target list of ten places.
