10 years after its initial publication, /Writing for the Screen: Creative and Critical Approaches/ has been radically updated and is now out. This revised and refreshed edition guides the contemporary screenwriter through a variety of creative and critical approaches to a deeper understanding of how to tell stories for the screen. With a renewed focus on theme and structure, the book is an essential guide for writers, script developers and teachers to help develop ideas into rich dynamic projects, and craft compelling, resonating screenplays. There is also a focus on the emerging area of screenwriting practice research.
