Translate Your Story Idea Into a Logline and One-Page Synopsis
You have a story idea living in your head as a feeling, and a feeling does not pitch. This turns it into structure: a single-sentence logline carrying protagonist, inciting incident, central conflict and stakes, then a one-page synopsis running from setup through the midpoint turn to the climax. Describe the idea and walk away with a document you can actually show someone.
