Publisher Synopsis
'Each essay included in this collection serves two purposes: information and inspiration. Craig Batty has chosen authors who have dual abilities: they understand the creative process and they are able to find the kernels of truth in their topics that speak to both method and practice in screenwriting. This book is absolutely accessible and stimulating. Batty has gathered a compendium of worthy researchers whose studies, inquiries and insights motivate and encourage readers to think more deeply on the screenwriting process and also aid those interested in the formation and construction of screenplays. His goals to shape a collection of work that is relevant to both academics and at-work screenwriters, and to put the art and craft of screenwriting into 'context' have been accomplished.' - Jule Selbo, award-winning screenwriter and Professor of Screenwriting at California State University, Fullerton Read more...
