WRITING THE FICTION SYNOPSIS: a step by step approach
by Pam McCutcheon
Eureka! This is a gem of a book. Yes, it is primarily aimed at the novelist, however the principles are the same. Not only is it laid out in an easy to follow and enjoyable step by step guide with worksheets, but Ms. McCutchoen has used three films as examples throughout including a long and short synopsis (treatment) of each: The American President, Speed and Star Wars.
Inside you’ll find treatments for comedy, drama, and science fiction features, a seven-act structured MOW treatment, and a television series treatment.
