The Scotsman/Scotland on Sunday
Taps into the same market as Syd Field, but will prove infinitely more useful. This collection truly illuminates contemporary scriptwriting.

Book Description
An extraordinary collection of interviews with 21 of the leading screenwriters of our day for aspiring screenwriters, film students, and enthusiasts alike.

Journalist and film industry insider Kevin Conroy Scott presents an invaluable screenwriting masterclass featuring extensive, never-before-published interviews with acclaimed screenwriters ranging from Hollywood pros to top writers in the US and European independent scenes.

Each interview guides the reader through the entire creation process: how the writer handled the painstaking process of creating a three-dimensional world out of their imagination, what worked and what didn't in the finished film-and why, collaborating with directors and actors, and the revision process.

Screenwriters' Masterclass features interviews with:

Lisa Chodolenko (High Art)
Carlos Cuaron (Y Tu Mama Tambien)
Chris Weitz (About a Boy)
Michael Haneke (Code Unknown)
