Description
A Guide for Writing and Rewriting by Hollywood Script Consultant Linda Seger
Making a good script great is not just a matter of having a good idea. Nor is it a matter of just putting that good idea down on paper. In scriptwriting, it's not just the writing but also the rewriting that counts. Making a Good Script Great focuses on the rewriting process and offers specific methods to help you craft tighter, stronger, and more workable scripts.
While retaining all the valuable insights that have made the first edition on of the all-time most popular screenwriting books, this expanded, second edition adds new chapters that take you through the complete screenwriting process, from the first draft through the shooting draft.
If you're writing your first script, this book will help develop your skills for telling a compelling and dramatic story. If you're a veteran screenwriter, this book will articulate the skills you know intuitively. And if you're currently stuck on a rewrite, this book will help you analyze and solve the problems and get your script back "on track."
Reviews
"Rx for ailing screenwriters: Read this tonight and call me in the morning."
–Tony Bill
"A must-read for every writer, beginner or professional. I don't know how we've gotten along with it"
–Barbara Corday, President, Columbia Pictures Television, Co-creator of "Cagney & Lacey"
"There have been many books on writing but none, in my opinion, that have the depth and accessibility of Linda Seger's. It's a marvelous book for producers and executives as well as writers. I know I'll rad scripts from now on with a whole different point of view."
–Renee Valente, Producer, "Blind Ambition," "Love Thy Neighbor"
"An invaluable tool for the working writer, replete with useful examples from actual scripts."
–Richard Walter, Screenwriting Faculty Chairman, UCLA Department of Theater, Film and Television
"Linda Seger has written quite simply the most brilliant and useful book on screenwriting that I have ever seen."
–William Kelley, Academy Award-winning writer, Witness
