“Most scriptwriting books are either for
the beginner, and thus bore the proficient writer,
or are for the advanced writer and take for granted
much of the information the beginner needs. This
volume is that rare entity, a book that will please
and be useful to both groups.”

the mechanics of commercially successful scriptwriting
and the how-to of seeking television work.
Alfred

of the basic elements of dramatic writing within
the context of developing a television script. Step-by-step,
the reader is led through the process of creating
a script and, along the way, informed about the
practical, business side of TV scriptwriting.

either television or feature film work.
