As a playwriting and screenwriting instructor myself, this is the book I always recommend to students and friends who want to know more about how to write for theater, film and television. Laura Shamas expertly maps out a clear and confident approach for the beginning writer. As a professional writer, I find this book keeps me on my toes and reminds me of a lot of things I sometimes forget. It's been said that you can't teach talent, but you can learn craft, and this book is truly one of the best of its kind.
