Hi Nathan,

Some websites advise against mentioning both characters in the elevator pitch of a first person dual pov story. Yet some say not mentioning the second character is cheating and gives the story the appearance of a single protagonist. Besides, the logline becomes longer than 25 words. What then, should be the word limit?
Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks.
