About this title

Synopsis

The “calling card” script is one that expresses your voice and gets you noticed and on your way to becoming an accomplished writer whose work is commissioned and put into production. This essential guide shows writers how to tell a great story in script form and offers invaluable insight and practical tips. Focusing on the universal principles of dramatic storytelling for screen, stage, and radio, the book addresses the script as the blueprint for performance and takes the writer on the journey from the story idea to the process of writing to the experience of reading scripts, working with writers, and impressing industry gatekeepers.
