| | PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: | | Shakespeare for Screenwriters by J.M. Evenson  Shakespeare For Screenwriters reveals powerful storytelling secrets from one of the greatest writers who ever lived.
Every writer aspires to create a character like Hamlet or a love story like Romeo and Juliet. But how did Shakespeare create characters of such compelling psychological depth? What makes his stories so romantic, funny, heartbreaking, and gripping? Why have his creations stood the test of time?
Shakespeare For Screenwriters is the first book to use Shakespeare's works to examine the fundamentals of screenwriting, breaking down famous stories, scenes, and beloved characters, to uncover timeless storytelling secrets — and then shows you how to capture their power in your own screenplays. Geared to all levels of interest and experience in both Shakespeare and screenwriting, each chapter focuses on specific lessons learned through reading Shakespeare.
If you've ever wondered what makes Shakespeare's writing so special, and wished you could add a little bit of that magic into your own work, this the book for you. Shakespeare wrote the most powerful dramas, comedies, romances, thrillers, and historical epics in the English language. Shakespeare For Screenwriters tells you how. Our Price: $21.95 What Are You Laughing At? A Comprehensive Guide to the Comedic Event by Dan O'Shannon  Attention comedy fans and comedy writers!
In the book What Are You Laughing At? writer and producer Dan O'Shannon presents an entirely new approach to comedy theory. If you want to understand the bigger picture — what is comedy, why do we respond to it the way we do — then you've come to the right place.
Subtitled A Comprehensive Guide to the Comedic Event, this book presents all the variables that can come into play when we come into contact with comedy. It challenges long-held beliefs and shows how the three main theories of comedy (incongruity, superiority, and relief) are not in conflict; but rather, work as parts of a larger model. There are many examples pulled from author Dan O'Shannon's own experiences, writing for shows such as Cheers, Frasier, and Modern Family. By the end of What Are You Laughing At?, you'll have an understanding of just what happens when man meets comedy. This book will change the way you hear laughter.
