Inhaltsangabe

Do you have a movie idea you’re excited to write, but – for one reason or another – you’re stuck?

One thing that can help you quickly go from idea to finished screenplay is a strong plan. A map of the story. In other words, an outline.

But where do you start?

The Screenplay Outline Workbook is designed to give you a clear and manageable set of tools, steps, and exercises so you can turn your ideas and inspiration into an outline and write your best screenplay – whether it’s your first or your tenth.

With this workbook as your guide, you can start with just an inkling of an idea – or nothing at all, even! – and end up with a solid story premise, compelling characters, and an outline that provides a blueprint for writing an emotionally satisfying screenplay.

Use the workbook to design a new story from scratch, or jump straight to the topic you need to get your work-in-progress unstuck.

With 30+ tools, exercises, and prompts honed through years of teaching workshops and working one-on-one with writers, this workbook will help you:

• Generate new story ideas.
• Choose a strong idea as the first step in writing a great screenplay.
• Build a sturdy foundation for your screenplay by finding the essential elements of the story.
• Discover the organic three act structure and major plot points.
• Design compelling characters that help push the protagonist along a meaningful character arc.
• Try one or more suggested outlining methods for mapping out your story.

…And so much more!

The workbook lays out a process that’s flexible enough that you can use it for every screenplay you write, yet designed to specifically address the issues readers commonly find in aspiring screenwriters’ screenplays.

If you’ve tried to write a screenplay before but found yourself stuck somewhere in Act 2, having an outline that serves as a map of your screenplay can make all the difference. Consider this workbook the wise but gentle guide that will meet you where you are and lead you to your destination

When you’re done you’ll have more than an outline — you’ll have a rock-solid foundation for your screenplay.
