Gardner's Guide to Screenplay: The Rewrite

by Jule Selbo

The quintessential guide for screenwriters—whether it is the first screenplay or the one hundredth—helps create the perfect script by offering step-by-step guidance on how to focus and polish writing, to ensure that it is ready for production. After a first draft is completed and a screenplay is ready to enter the competitive marketplace, this manual offers an 11-step story breakdown, a template that takes the haphazardness out of the process of writing, as well as specific, concrete advice on the rewriting process. This must-have companion is for screenwriters serious about getting their film produced.
