Writing Dialogue for Scripts provides expert insight into how dialogue works, what to look out for in everyday speech, and how to use dialogue effectively in scripts. Writers learn, on the whole, by trial, error and practice; this book will help perfect their skills. A highly practical guide, the book includes analysis and examples of scripted dialogue from across many different media."--Jacket.
