Best Books about Screenwriting and TV Writing

Whether you are a beginning screenwriter or have been honing your skills during the past decade, you are most likely always ready to read the best books on screenwriting. Sometimes, it's for inspiration, other times for motivation to stick to the craft despite the years of tenacious efforts seeking the first break into the business.

I have compiled a bibliography of the best screenwriting books I know about and use, and have made the list available on my Web site, AcademicBib.com. There are books on screenwriting and books on TV writing, each with a link to Amazon so you can get some information about the piece, read reviews and see if it's a book that interests you.

AcademicBib.com is a work in progress, so navigating the site is still a bit rough. However, using the links directly to the books on screenwriting and TV writing should make the search easier. Missing a book you're looking for? Let me know! You can post here in a blog comment or email the information to TheWriteScript@Yahoo.com.

Happy reading and, better yet, happy writing!

The Writer's Journey

There's a book I've been wanting to read, The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers, 3rd Editionthat I've finally put into my Amazon cart. I love the semester coming to an end and I can catch up on my own leisure (ha) reading. Structure is good to know. Story telling has a structure. Academic writing has a structure.

Counting down the days. Looking forward to the journey.



I'll write a review afterwards.
