BOOKS BY WILL DUNNE
Through the University of Chicago Press, Will Dunne now offers three nonlinear reference guides to help you develop original plays and screenplays. The Dramatic Writer’s Companion and its sequel Character, Scene, and Story both focus primarily on the creative process. Each offers a comprehensive collection of in-depth character, scene, and story tools for playwrights and screenwriters. The Architecture of Story focuses primarily on script analysis and uses storytelling principles at work in three successful contemporary American plays to help you evaluate your own work – whether it’s a scene in progress or a completed draft of a script awaiting revision.
