Okay…
Today’s post is the last of my book recommendations but ‘eyes up’ as there are a few must reads among them – not sure why the photo came out blurry? (User error presumably!)
The Coffee Break Screenwriter (Pilar Allessandra) – really useful guide to plotting, structuring and developing your script. Also, straightforward and informative as well as an easy read.
Reading Screenplays: How to analyse and evaluate film scripts(Lucy Scher) – insight into the industry from the Reader’s perspective and what they look out for when reading a spec script
Writing Screenplays that Sell: (Michael Hauge) – a great book from a wise old head. He sets out his stall to educate writers as to how their scripts might be made exciting, entertaining and a must read.
How not to write a screenplay (Denny Martin) – easy to read, I worked my way through this book and learnt invaluable lessons as to what to avoid when writing and watch out for when editing.
Maverick Screenwriting (Josh Golding) – a detailed book that exists to help writers create scripts that are different. It’s an easy read and (for me) provided a helpful insight into the different outcomes one should expect when developing concept driven and plot driven ideas (among other things).
Til next time….
