You know the basics of playwriting or screenwriting, but now you need to move to that next level. One of the best ways to sharpen those writing skills is by listening to what successful playwrights and screenwriters say about their own processes for developing story concepts, characters, and finding the right structure to tell the tale. Topics range across the entire practice of writing for theatre and film, including titles, dialogue, themes, editing and revision, and rules and not following them. The collection offers inspiration, encouragement, cautions, and practical advice from those who've been working in this business of writing for theatre, film, and television.The quotes collection is selected by a writer-producer who's worked with Lucasfilm, the BBC, and major figures in theatre, film, television, and audio drama.
