Description:
This is a book for all writers, be they published or unpublished, novelists or journalists, who want to write for the movies. Meg Wolitzer, who has transformed herself from novelist to novelist/screenwriter, shows writers how they too, can use their grasp of story, language, and character to write great screenplays. Wolitzer discusses those aspects of screenwriting that can stymie even the most seasoned of writers. Her topics include:
-- getting started
-- the essential three-act structure
-- how writers can use what they already know about writing
-- why write a treatment and how to do it
-- how to write visually instead of verbally
-- creating for the market
