THE LOGLINE LAB
One sentence decides whether anyone asks for pages. Paste yours and Don Chuy grades hook, clarity and stakes out of ten, names the single fix, and hands back a rewrite built only from the story you already wrote.
THE FOUR THINGS WE LOOK FOR
A specific protagonist
Not "a man" — a person with a job, a flaw or a history that shapes the choice.
An active want
Something they pursue, not something that happens to them.
Real resistance
A force with its own case, strong enough to make the outcome uncertain.
A cost of failure
What is lost if they fall short. No cost, no stakes.
QUESTIONS WRITERS ASK
- What makes a logline work?
- One sentence that names a specific protagonist, an active want, the force resisting it, and what it costs to fail. If any of those four is missing, the grade shows you which one.
- Is the Logline Grader free?
- Yes — no account, no card. Registering on Scriptageddon is free as well, and comes with three full 225-point screenplay assessments.
- Will you rewrite my logline for me?
- You get a rewrite built strictly from the elements you supplied. Don Chuy never invents plot you did not write.
- How long should a logline be?
- One or two sentences, roughly 25 to 45 words. Longer usually means the premise has not been decided yet.
