Creative Screenwriting Magazine.

If you're interested in writing for the screen, I recommend subscribing to this magazine - Creative Screenwriting.   I've been subscribed for a couple of years.   http://creativescreenwriting.com/current.html


I know it's published in America but the editors endeavour to give the magazine a global reach, so it's contents are relevant. 


And an informed writer is a better writer, hey!


One of this month's articles which I found very interesting was by Nancy Nigrosh called "The Lone Screenwriter: A Modest Proposal." 


"...she takes a hard look at the fallout from the revolving-door approach to writing feature films.  As writers cannibalize each other's credits and revenue streams, she asks, can there ever be a happy ending?  "


An exerpt from her essay is provided but which was first posted in this blog http://weblogs.variety.com/thompsononhollywood/2008/10/screenwriting-i.html


If you click onto the blog above you get to read the comments left by others ~ also interesting. 


BRIAN made this observation:  "The road to the future does not pass through the gates of the major studios, not if movies are distributed over the Internet anytime this century. " 


On the basis he is speaking about the percieved 'Hollywood' studio system, I have to agree.


More food for thought.


Frances.

Another interesting comment from that BLOG:
Joe Valdez: "Amazon's recent development of starting a web site for creators to
sell their own work: music, films, books, is the model for the future."
