Hamlett in August Writer's Digest
Aspiring screenwriters will want to check out the August issue of Writer's Digest which contains my feature article, "Script Rules". Correctly formatting your screenplay can make all the difference between getting it read and getting it thrown out.
This article covers everything you need to know to make your script submission shine. Writer's Digest is available by subscription at www.writersdigest.com; individual copies can be purchased at your local bookstore.
Christina Writes on Markets for Plays for Young Actors
Also new in August is the latest issue of Children's Writer Newsletter www.childrenswriter.com which features "Plays for a New Generation", a series of interviews I conducted with leading play publishers who chat about what they're currently looking for in new theatrical scripts targeted to young audiences.
"Based on a True Story" - featured in September's Writers Store eZine - discusses the good, the bad, and the ugly of writing about personal experiences. While most of us think our personal journey is worthy of an Oscar, it's no excuse to go light on substance or ignoring the rules that need to be followed for any successful script. There is a lot to be learned from films that have been successful in this genre, and I go through the basics in this article.
