Samenvatting:

Writing Dialogue for Scripts deals with the media of stage, radio, television and film, giving a great deal of practical advice. This revised and updated edition also includes a number of examples of the most recent scripted dialogue. Chapters deal with how conversation works, naturalistic and stylised dialogue, pace and variation, scripted narration, comic dialogue and presentation. As well as highlighting the ways in which dialogue varies from one medium to another, this book shows how many of the skills of writing dialogue may in fact be applied to all the script media.
