## Description

desertcart.com: Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting: 8580001070230: Field, Syd: Books

Review: Every novelist should consider reading this book - I just finished reading Screenplay and it was eye opening. Most of the book is about crafting stories. Creative techniques recommended for screenwriters. But I find most of those techniques can be applied to crafting novels. A few months ago, I finished a first draft of a novel that was much too short. The second act was sparse, and I hadn't adequately shown why a very unlikely pair fell in love. I clearly didn't fully understand the story I was trying to tell. What I learned from Screenplay in one reading has already given me a growth spurt as a writer. I have a vision and thematic understanding I didn't have before, thanks to this book. Field is a teacher of screenwriting, and his teaching chops show in this book. It is an easy and comfortable read. The writing style is conversational and encouraging and the book is well organized to introduce you to creating stories for the screen in a logical progression, promoting well-accepted methods. So, not only is Screenplay a valuable book for screenwriters, it is a worthwhile read for other storytellers, including novelists.
Review: A must have for writers - This book is one of the best books about screenwriting and for me not only screenwriting is the reference book to start writing and developing your ideas into stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every novelist should consider reading this book
*by K***Y on June 28, 2023*

I just finished reading Screenplay and it was eye opening. Most of the book is about crafting stories. Creative techniques recommended for screenwriters. But I find most of those techniques can be applied to crafting novels. A few months ago, I finished a first draft of a novel that was much too short.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for writers
*by M***N on September 21, 2025*

This book is one of the best books about screenwriting and for me not only screenwriting is the reference book to start writing and developing your ideas into stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is indeed foundational.
*by P***O on December 15, 2025*

Having read dozens of screenwriting manuals over the years, this one by the late Mr. Field is still the most helpful and practical work on the subject. This doesn't mean it's the only book a student will ever need to read, but it's certainly foundational (no pun intended). If you're an aspiring screenwriter, of if you simply want to learn how to analyze Hollywood films, read this first and come back to it often.
