Based on this principle, this book walks aspiring writers through the fascinating world of character-driven screenwriting. When a writer engages their characters, they start a process which naturally leads to the storys structure and everything else that makes for a well-written narrative. Exploring the protagonists journey and their "unity arc", Myers explains how a family of characters surrounds the protagonist and influences their transformation process. This easy-to-follow guide features activities that will help writers of any level develop their stories from concept to scene-by-scene outline. Based upon a popular workshop Myers has led with over a thousand writers at all levels of experience, this book is a must-have for screenwriting students, both undergraduate and graduate, and those looking at advanced story development.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-79682-2}, recid = {1445518}, pages = {1 online resource :}, }
