Organic Screenwriting: Writing for Film, Naturally

$17.95

“Finally! A Book for Screenwriters that Focuses on Creativity, not Rules!”

Writing for film doesn’t have to feel like an engineered exercise in story-building. Rather, it can be a story-freeing adventure, one that retains all the magic, wonder and awe of movies and make-believe.

Let Organic Screenwriting carry you into the heart of storytelling, on a journey that unlocks your imagination, unleashes your creativity and empowers you to paint the vibrant colors of character, emotion and visuals onto the blank canvas of your script.

Whether you’re a seasoned screenwriter or just starting out, Organic Screenwriting will show you how simple it can be to craft engaging, compelling, entertaining stories for the screen, spontaneously and without struggle.

Organic Screenwriting gives us permission to do what we set out to do in the first place: Tell stories from our hearts.
– Luke Yankee, writer/producer of TV’s Conversations on Craft

Organic Screenwriting is unlike anything else I’ve seen in other books on screenwriting, with valuable lessons for all writers, not just those working on movies.
– Casey Ryan, host of The Cutting Room Floor

Every film school, screenwriting guru and book out there says to start your screenplay with an outline. Not Organic Screenwriting. What a breath of fresh air!
– Alexander Ghose, Toronto, ON

A seminal work that should be read carefully by any and all aspiring writers for film and television … an enduringly useful reference work.
– The Midwest Book Review

“What I share here speaks to the core of what I believe, not only about screenwriting but about writing, and that's that creativity is an organic process that relies more on discernment than rules, more on intuition than outlines, more on passion than structure. It's a free-flowing, in-the-moment experience that urges us to turn our backs on cookie-cutter formulas and paint-by-numbers canvasses. It's a realm where Story is king and Muse is both chancellor and court jester. It's a journey where we sit, wide-eyed, in a darkened theater and watch, awestruck, as our screenplay reveals itself to us on the flickering screen.”
– Mark David Gerson
