The Audience and You: A guide to writing screenplays with emotional impact, (Paperback)

This book will make your screenplay/TV Pilot better.

Most screenwriting advice focuses on 'story' and downplays the importance of the emotional experience for the audience and the writer. This book explores what really matters - a writer's emotional connection with their script, and finding ways to engage an audience. If you can't make a group of strangers feel something, your story will fail. Every single time.

In an honest, personal, at times blunt and funny style, this book reveals ways to harness your true power as a writer, create compelling characters, explore your unique emotional toolbox and connect your script with the people who matter most - your audience.

If you have dreams of being paid to write screenplays or TV series, and want to deliver an entertaining, emotionally satisfying experience (which you absolutely should), you need to read this book.
