Tips for New Screenwriters
Some of our members write for film and television as a career and some are just starting to learn to think like a screenwriter. Perhaps we can share our knowledge with each other? I just posted (over in
Writers in Canada) a few ways to get started learning about how scripts differ from other forms (thanks Eileen!) It occurred to me that maybe that info could be helpful to someone here so I'll repost in this discussion.
I'm hoping some of you have thoughts for the new writers among us. How did
you learn what makes a good screenplay (and what makes a good screenplay anyway?)
