THE COFFEE BREAK SCREENWRITER . . . BREAKS THE RULESA Guide for the Rebel Writer

By Pilar Alessandra

March to a different drummer! Take risks. Make bold choices. Break the rules! But do it purposely and strategically, using The Coffee Break Screenwriter . . . Breaks the Rules as your guide, and create a script readers will remember.

Pilar Alessandra’s popular book, The Coffee Break Screenwriter, taught writers how to outline quickly, write efficiently, and rewrite creatively. It is the “go-to” book for getting one’s story on the page. But now that same writer may be doing a final pass on

a project, working with a producer, or coming up with a new project only to be hit with . . . RULES! Should the writer respond to this random list of dos and don’ts pertaining to structure, characters, dialogue, and formatting? Nope.

Who says you have to follow the screenwriting rules? In this book Pilar reviews the rules writers assume they should follow, discusses why they’re there in the first place, and then shows you ways to creatively break them!

Pilar Alessandra started her career as a senior story analyst at DreamWorks SKG. In 2001, she opened the Los Angeles–based On the Page Writers’ Studio, dedicated to teaching and consulting with screenwriters and TV writers at all levels. She’s the author of the popular scriptwriting book, The Coffee Break Screenwriter, and host of the “On the Page Podcast.”

THE WAY OF STORYThe Craft & Soul of Writing

Catherine Ann Jones

The Way of Story is an integrative approach to writing all forms of narrative, illustrated with evocative insights from the author’s own professional journey.


THE THREE WELLS OF SCREENWRITINGDiscover Your Deep Sources of Inspiration

Matthew Kalil

Ever wondered where your story ideas come from? Discover your unique, secret wells of creativity and use them to write the kinds of scenes, locations and characters that only you have access to.

In a saturated scriptwriting market, this book helps you stand out by accessing your wells and writing the kinds of stories that only you can tell.

What happens when you write? What goes on in the split-second, decision-making moment when you face the flashing cursor? If you slow down that moment, you

will discover that when you create, you draw from three distinct wells within yourself.

The first is the External Sources Well: movies you’ve seen or books you’ve read. The second is the Imagination Well: you make it up. The third is the Memory Well: you dig deep and recall lived experiences.

Matthew Kalil is a writer, director, and script editor. He has written and co-written over 40 produced episodes of TV and has received various grants, development funding and awards. Matthew’s productions have been screened and broadcast in Canada, Denmark, Morocco, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Kenya, South Africa, Thailand, the United States and the United Kingdom.

VISUAL STORYTELLINGHow to Speak to Your Audience Without Saying a Word

Morgan Sandler

If you have ever wondered how professional films create such dynamic images, then this book is for you! Visual Storytelling will help you craft masterful images without a Hollywood budget. The

book covers everything from basic story structure to composition, lighting and camera work. Visual Storytelling is a standalone course in directing and cinematography that gives the readers all the tools they need to craft a visually compelling film.

Visual Storytelling covers all major components of creating powerful images including lighting, camera functions, composition and storytelling. However, the main focus of the book is not just creating compelling visuals, but more importantly creating images that inform and move the audience. Images carry emotional weight and Visual Storytelling teaches readers how to harness these emotions to maximize the emotion of the story, while minimizing the amount of dialogue necessary.

Morgan Sandler is a professor of Digital Film Production at the University of La Verne, in Southern California. Previously, he helped design the Digital Cinematography program at California State University, Los Angeles, where he also served as an adjunct professor. He also previously served as the Course Director of Cinematography at The Los Angeles Film School, where he taught for 10 years helping to shape many courses and design a large portion of the curriculum.

dream into your reality. The method in this book is available to anyone, anywhere. You don’t need a ton of money or industry connections, you just need to be willing to do the work of each step.

THE COMIC HERO’S JOURNEYSerious Story Structure for Fabulously Funny Films

Steve Kaplan

You’re writing a comedy and as your structure, you’re using the hero’s journey (doesn’t everybody?). Only problem is, your hero keeps coming out . . . heroic? This book shows you how to build a comic story that’s exciting, engaging, emotional, meaningful . . . and funny!

The hero’s journey, thanks to Joseph Campbell and Chris Vogler, is a classic form of drama—a young man who has greatness within gets a call to go on an adventure. But what about the protagonist in a comedy? A comic hero or heroine also goes on a journey,

but it’s often quite, quite different. The hero decides to go on the adventure; the comic hero often has no choice. The hero has a wise old man; the comic hero often meets an idiot who inadvertently says something that can teach him a thing or two. Steve Kaplan will show you the diverse paths that comedy takes in The Comic Hero’s Journey.

For years, Steve Kaplan has been the industry’s most respected and sought-after expert on comedy. The artists he’s taught, directed or produced have gone on to be nominated for or win 43 Emmy Awards, 1 Academy Award, 3 Golden Globe Awards, 1 American Comedy Award, 6 Writers’ Guild of America Awards and several others. In addition to having taught at UCLA, NYU, Yale and other top universities, Kaplan created the HBO Workspace, the HBO New Writers Program and was co-founder and artistic director of Manhattan Punch Line Theatre.
