Description:

Talk is cheap - except when it comes to writing dialogue. Aspects of the Screenplaydeals with film dialogue: how best to write it while also focusing on other critical aspects of the screenplay such as plot, structure, and character. No other book on writing for film concentrates solely on dialogue - despite the fact that in any 120-page screenplay, most of the pages will be predominantly filled with dialogue! Mark Axelrod, author of dozens of screenplays and teleplays, offers tips and exercises that will make the aspiring screenwriter sit down and write.
