The Screenwriter's Path is a comprehensive guide to writing a screenplay. Author Diane Lake has been writing
screenplays for major studios for 20 years, was a co-writer of the Academy-award winning film Frida and is a tenured professor at Emerson College in Boston.
The book sets out a unique approach to story structure and characterization that takes writers, step by step, to a finished screenplay, and is full
of practical advice on what to do with the final script to get it seen by the right people.
"Like the best screenplays, The Screenwriter’s Path is economically written. Diane Lake packs its pages with a mix of practical,
from-the-Hollywood-trenches advice as well as exercises that will benefit anyone who wants to learn how to write for the screen."
