Pressure-test the idea before you write it.
Sit with the Mentor — a fair-witness creative partner trained in story craft. Talk through the premise, the protagonist, the central question. Surface the load-bearing problems early, when revision still costs nothing. Whether you're shaping a feature, breaking a pilot, or testing a logline, Story Development is where the work begins.
Best for: Writers who'd rather find structural cracks in the idea than the third draft.
