"StoryNotesNewsletter" is a free e-newsletter that explores the art and craft of screenwriting.

These articles are designed to be of interest to beginning, intermediate, and advanced screenwriters; newbies and professionals.

Issues featuring a new topic will arrive "periodically."

Questions or comments are welcome, sent to me directly (storynotes@aol.com).

My background:

I'm a screenplay consultant, a multi-optioned screenwriter, and a produced and published playwright. Credentials and Testimonials can be seen through the links at the bottom of my website, http://www.storynotes.net.

Some of these articles are revised versions of ones that originally appeared in my print publication "StoryNotes," in "Drama-Logue," or on several screenwriting websites such as Hollywoodnet, Creative Screenwriting, and ScreenTalk.

To read the posts in their original format (especially important for when there are diagrams), click on "Messages" at the left menu column, and then click on "Expand Messages."

I hope you find these articles helpful!
