It would be great to sell an idea, then the whole script, Sophia S. Sterling! I've only heard of big-time screenwriters doing it.

Hi Sophia S. Sterling! Many have! The low budget RomComs you see from Reel One are often picked up by a well-crafted logline that leads to a greenlight for an outline and then a greenlight for a script (but those are non-union and do not pay the same as WGA-sold scripts). Shane Black famous sold an idea off something he wrote on a napkin. So it's possible, but definitely harder when you're first starting out because people want to read a script to know that you know how to write. If you shoot me an email at success@stage32.com, I'm happy to answer any other questions you have and talk about your writing goals!
