A Beginner's Guide To Screenwriting March 31, 2011
by Gregory

The focus here is on structure. Seger discusses pretty much every element involved in creating the structure of a screenplay. She starts with the macrocosm, discussing the three-act structure itself, and then delves into smaller issues related to creating that three-act structure: subplots, character development, unification elements, etc., etc.
I buy my used textbooks from ecampus and the condition of them is great, so far.
