Screenplay:The Foundations of Screenwriting

Syd Field's SCREENPLAY: The Foundations Of Screenwriting.
From concept to character, from opening scene to finished script...Here are easily understood guidlines to make film writing accessible to novices and to help practiced writers improve their scripts.

David Trottier's The Screenwriter's Bible. This is my personal favorite. My own copy is the most worn volume in my library. Six books in one it contains: A Primer, a Workbook, a Format & Style guide for spec scripts, a consultant's view on spec scripts, a Marketing plan and a Resource guide. Combined with Web support this is an incredible bargin. We have a hard time keeping this one in stock but can usually ship within 3 to 5 weeks.

The Screenwriter's Bible: A Complete Guide to Writing, Formatting, and Selling Your Script 
The Complete Book of Scriptwriting J.Michael Straczynski's The Complete Book of Scriptwriting. This is another well worn member of my library. The writer/producer of Murder, She Wrote and creator of Babylon 5 (with an astounding 5 year story arc) tells you how it really is in various forms of dramatic media: Television, Film, Animation, Radio and Stage. He shows you the importance of distinguishing yourself through professionalism and discipline and how to strengthen your writing technique while urging you to bring your own vision to your work, avoid formula, and create from passion.
Jurgen Wolff's Successfull Sitcom Writing. This is a highly recomeded book for anyone with an intrest in writing for Television sitcoms. I found this invaluable when writing my submission for the Disney. The powers that be over at Disney recommended it to me and I was glad they did. It includes a full-length sample script for Frasier, A sample outline for Mad About You, interviews from many industry experts and indepth analyses of the funniest shows of the last several years Successful Sitcom Writing

The Writer's Partner:For Fiction, Television, & Screen

 Martin Roth's The Writer's Partner for Fiction, Television,& Screen. Here is a book that has pulled my butt out of the fire a few time. I am on my second copy of this book because I used the first one so often it finally fell apart on me. It gives that special high octane boost to those brain storming sessions in the early stages of story development. The nice thing is: With this partner you don't have to share a writing credit.
