About the Book

Mastering Screenwriting: From Shorts to Features is a complete guide to writing the modern film screenplay. Author Donald H. Hewitt draws from his many years as a working screenwriter and as a screenwriting professor at UCLA, USC, and other top film schools. "When I started teaching, I learned that I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with others. Writing a book was the natural extension of this love."


Mastering Screenwriting: From Shorts to Features provides a practical and actionable method for getting from the idea stage to a finished script. "I have always been frustrated with existing screenwriting books since they don't really reflect my experience as a working writer," states the author. "As a professional, you need a process that you can rely on to deliver high-quality results quickly and efficiently." This professional methodology forms the basis for the lessons and exercises in this book. Don also offers advice on screenplay writing samples for film school applications and a detailed teachers guide for those who wish to use the book as a textbook, including self-learners. Throughout the book, you'll find information on the business of filmmaking and what it means to be a working screenwriter in the film industry, plus interesting anecdotes from his successful Hollywood screenwriting career.
