CREATIVE STEALING – YOUR RESPONSES
Hi There, I hope your writing is going very well. This fortnight, your responses to my last newsletter, ‘CREATIVE STEALING’. ‘Hi Philip, Inspiring newsletter, thank you. I like STEALING. I
I have been writing these fortnightly newsletters for over a decade on many different aspects of screenwriting and storytelling. So this has grown into a fairly huge online resource for screenwriters.
We have tried to break the newsletters into useful categories so that you can access the subjects that interest you.
I have covered many subjects over the years – including PITCHING, CHARACTERISATION, LITERARY AGENTS, many recommendations of inspiring and brilliant shows and scripts; and interviews with many fascinating screenwriters and producers.
I hope you will have fun dipping into some of the old newsletters; and I hope that they will be helpful and energising for your screenwriting.
