    Q49: Do I need a logline?

    Q49: Do I need a logline?

    Do you need a logline for your novel? I thought they were just for movies. 
    Typically they are, but they are also very helpful for books too. This week Jodi explains why writing a logline not only helps you with your elevator pitch and hook, but also makes sure your story clearly contains all the major elements required for a page-turning story. 
    PS. You might need a pen and paper to take notes!
