Description

Break the Rules: A Guide for the Rebel Writer Pilar Alessandra's popular guide to screenwriting, The Coffee Break Screenwriter, has helped writers get their stories on the page. Now, she tackles the often-overlooked rules that govern storytelling, characters, dialogue, and formatting. In this book, Pilar reviews common screenwriting "rules", explains why they exist, and shows you how to creatively break them. You don't have to follow every rule - in fact, many can be bent or broken to serve your story better. Pilar covers four key aspects of each rule: why it exists, why writers should break it, how to break it, and the potential risks of doing so. With this guide, you'll learn how to use rules as a starting point, rather than a straitjacket. Whether you're working on a new project or revising an old one, Pilar's expert advice will help you make informed decisions about structure, character development, dialogue, and more.
