About this title

Synopsis

In any creative endeavour, craft by itself is simply not enough. Designed not just to awaken creativity, but to teach the writer the process of being creative within the context of screenwriting, this new, unique addition to Linda Seger's highly popular collection of books combines the tools necessary to learn how to think and write more creatively with indispensable screenwriting know-how. This book does just what its title professes -- provides writers with the knowledge necessary to write at the highest artistic level.
