A respected screenwriting consultant and author of several books on the topic, Seger provides a collection of meditations on fine-tuning scripts for writers who already have the attained a basic knowledge of the art. The book offers numerous meditations including working with non-traditional forms, maintaining a consistent and ongoing storyline, developing a personal cinematic style, finding a script's audience, developing subtexts, and transforming characters. Seger illustrates her points using examples from newer films including Academy Award winners and nominees made between 1980 and present. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
