Description
For all the new technology, says award-winning screenwriter Douglas, drama is still pretty much the way Aristotle described it thousands of years ago. She presents the traditional basis for writing television drama juxtaposed with new forms, traditional delivery systems seen in the light of current technology, and interviews with people whose ideas diverge more than the ones in the 2005 and 2007 editions. She covers what is special about television drama series, how shows get on, the television season, how a classic script in crafted, writing an episode, and working on staff. She does not provide an index. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
