Script Magazine Contributor’s Helpful New Book
A new screenwriting book which challenges the idea that ‘story is king’ has just been released by Write LA Publishing.
Long time Script Magazine contributor Tim Schildberger has written a screenwriting book that will make you a better writer.
"The Audience and You – a guide to writing screenplays with emotional impact" challenges the screenwriting industry’s obsession with ‘story’, and focuses on what really matters in your projects: a writer’s emotional connection with their script, and their ability to engage an audience.
If you can’t make strangers feel something, your story will fail.
Tim Schildberger is an LA based writer, script coach and frequent Script Magazine contributor who has launched many successful careers, and read thousands of scripts. This book is full of lessons learned from all of that reading, writing, and working with screenwriters at all stages of their career.
His book will help you understand your true power and purpose as a writer, give you ways to connect emotionally with your work, and and provide tips on creating compelling characters which are vital if you want your writing to connect with an audience.
Tim’s approach is unlike anything you’ll find in other screenwriting books – it’s raw and honest and it will give you the motivation and confidence you need to write authentic, emotional, and engaging stories that connect with an audience.
- Sadie Dean – Editor, Script Magazine
Tim’s book is insightful and often provocative in its mission to get writers to be more thoughtful about the crucial connection between the audience and your characters. It’s filled with hard won wisdom from his own experience as a writer and reader, and supercharged with his passion for the craft.”
