Organic Screenwriting: Writing for Film, Naturally Kindle Edition

by Mark David Gerson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

Finally! A Book for Screenwriters that Focuses on Creativity, not Rules!


"Organic Screenwriting gives us permission to do what we set out to do in the first place: Tell stories from our hearts."
– Luke Yankee, writer/producer of TV’s Conversations on Craft

Writing for film doesn’t have to feel like an engineered exercise in story-building. Rather, it can be a story-freeing adventure, one that retains all the magic, wonder and awe of movies and make-believe.

Learn to craft engaging, compelling, entertaining stories for the screen...spontaneously and without struggle, whether you're a seasoned screenwriter or just starting out.

Be the Storyteller You Are...Go Organic: Write Your Screenplay the Natural Way!

"What I share here speaks to the core of what I believe, not only about screenwriting but about writing, and that's that creativity is an organic process that relies more on discernment than rules, more on intuition than outlines, more on passion than structure. It's a free-flowing, in-the-moment experience that urges us to turn our backs on cookie-cutter formulas and paint-by-numbers canvasses. It's a realm where Story is king and Muse is both chancellor and court jester. It's a journey where we sit, wide-eyed, in a darkened theater and watch, awestruck, as our screenplay reveals itself to us on the flickering screen."
– Mark David Gerson "

A seminal work that should be read carefully by any and all aspiring writers for film and television … an enduringly useful reference work."
– The Midwest Book Review

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Best screenwriting manual out there
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018
    This is simply the best screenwriting book out there, the best approach. I’ve had the idea of writing this way before reading this book, so I’m glad someone’s encouraging me in doing so.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Let your story Blossom organically when you free yourself from the red tape.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019
    This book helps Launch you into Creativity... rather than stifling it. Everything I was struggling with to truly move forward was put into an entirely new perspective and freed me to truly write. It provided confirmation for my instincts and intuition to just ditch the norm and go with the flow.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Il meglio in circolazione
    Reviewed in Italy on September 6, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Mark David Gerson non mi ha detto niente di nuovo perché scrivevo già con questo metodo prima di conoscere il libro. Tuttavia ripenso spesso ai suoi suggerimenti per riprendere a scrivere quando ci si blocca, ed è il tipo di approccio alla sceneggiatura che userei. Rimane tuttavia il miglior libro sull’argomento in circolazione.
