Engage in this workbook's easy-to-follow exercises and step-by-step instructions to practice:
- Defining the central idea on which to build your script
- Crafting your unique narrative structure --based on Field's elegant, now industry standard, Paradigm--which in one form or another can be found within all viable screen stories
- Imbuing your characters with humanity, vitality, and depth
- Writing dialogue that not only moves your story along, but provides skillful insight into every character's psychology
- Reviewing all of the choices you've made to discern what works and what doesn't in order to re-write until your script's story virtually leaps off the page (from the crucial first ten to the final FADE OUT) for professional readers empowered to buy your work.

Field's expert analysis of notable screenplays makes the inevitable challenges to great writing clearer, and far more likely for you to overcome.
