Making a Good Writer Great
A Creativity Workbook for Screenwriters
Linda Seger, 233 pages, 51/2x81/2, 1-879505-49-5, $14.95 paper
“As much a course in creativity as a book on craft, Linda Seger’s Making a Good Writer Great   is both nurturing and provocative.  Holistic and catalytic, jammed with exercises and thought-provoking queries, it addresses the artist as well as the art.  Any writer, but especially screenwriters, will be strengthened by its practical wisdom.”
—Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way

 “A bold, new approach to screenwriting.  Dr. Seger humanizes the process by acknowledging the role that psychology, our personal stories, and our personal spirituality play in our creative work.”
—Linda Woolverton, screenwriter, Beauty and the Beast; co-screenwriter, The Lion King

 
   
 
In any creative endeavor, 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.

Making a Good Writer Great does just what its title professes—provides writers with the knowledge necessary to write at the highest artistic level.

Dr. Linda Seger is the author of five popular books on screenwriting and filmmaking:  Making a Good Script Great, Creating Unforgettable Characters, The Art of Adaptation:  Turning Fact and Fiction into Film, From Script to Screen:  The Collaborative Art of Filmmaking, and When Women Call the Shots:  The Developing Power and Influence pf Women in Television and Film.  Seger created and defined the job of script consultant in 1981, and since that time has consulted on more than 2,000 films and television scripts ands presented seminars for ABC, CBS, NBC, Disney, Turner Network,  the Motion Picture Academy, the Directors Guild, the American Film Institute, UCLA, and USC, as well as for companies around the world.
