Screenwriting From the Soul: Letters to an Aspiring Screenwriter
Krevolin (screenwriting, Univ. of Southern California) breathes new life into the genre of how-to books for screenwriters with his latest creative offering. He presents all of the nuts and bolts of screenwriting (e.g., structure, plot, thematic development, and character arc) in a witty and humorous style. Basing his book upon Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, Krevolin divulges the secrets to becoming a successful screenwriter in a series of letters. The result is a pleasurable and informative read specializing in the emotive reasons for picking up the pen. Like Rilke's work, this one is destined to become a classic in its genre.
