But it looks to be like it will definitely help to organize and help the screenwriter come out with a well-rounded and well thought out screenplay. There are at least 5 pages for every chapter they delve into so you have enough to create that many screenplays. It hits upon every aspect of the screenplay from character development to plot points and character arc and more. I believe it would be a great asset for any screenwriter who wants a screenplay they can be proud of and one that will stand out above the rest.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. good screen writer toolBy Nora ConnollyI like that there are exercises in this workbook. It can be somewhat entertaining and challenging but it is also a means to elaborate your style and make you develop as a screenwriter0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Then and than need help. but its a book I would buy again.By TdiggityIm happy to see Mr. Robinsons helpful worksheets. They really arent something that need to be repeated over and over again to thicken the book. but I do find them helpful. What I dont find very pleasing is the word usage. On page one I believe the writer should know the difference between "then" and "than." Then. I feel the need to re-write the sheets to suit my needs. Theres no use for saying that Plot Point #1 should fit on pages 20-30. It might be an okay rule of thumb. but its not how I would teach it. The good thing about this text as a whole is that someone who wants some structure in their scriptwriting should purchase this book. Its worth it (especially if you can get a decent used copy). Ill give it 3 stars.
