A guidebook for a playwright (me)

This has helped me on some levels I had trouble finding from other sources. Thank you for saving the best quote for last.

Took a while to finish this book. I had to read it for class and unless you inspire to be a playwright it can be pretty boring.

A helpful book that goes into almost everything you'll ever need to write a play and send it off to producers. It can be read all the way through, but much of it is the kind of info you look up on a need to know basis. I'm glad I bought it because it's the kind of book you keep around when questions like, "How wide are a plays margins?" come up.

A truly complete resource, littered with great & obscure quotes, that acts as a touch point when you get lost or stalled.
