About this title

Synopsis

Do you have a question about screenplay format or spec writing? Now you can have all of Dr. Format's prescriptions in one place.

He addresses such issues as how to handle foreign languages, when can you "legally" use secondary headings (slug lines), how to streamline scenes for a "great read," what Hollywood readers look for in a script, and how to format e-mail conversations.

Dr. Format contains every column Dave Trottier has written for Scr(i)pt Magazine, and each entry has been updated to currect standards. In all, Dave answers 107 common questions with concise answers and clear, illustrative examples that empower you to write with confidence.

Dave teaches you how to direct the camera without using camera directions, and how to use formatting principles to develop your characters. He also shares specific tips on pitch letters and TV sitcom format. And he provides expert guidance on screenwriting issues not found anywhere else.

Dr. Format goes beyond the rules and gives you practical applications that will expand your writing repertoire. According to Dave, "Understanding formatting and spec writing is a key to crafting a great screenplay." Let Dr. Format help you do just that.
