Do Drama

At some point on a book's journey, it can get a little damaged and becomes unsuitable for sale. But these wabi-sabi editions can still go to a good home!

This book is marked as a 'Second' and being offered at a discounted rate due to a minor defect. This could be an imperfection on the spine, corners or cover, or old pricing on the back cover. We're unable to photograph each imperfection, but rest assured it's the same great content inside!

Have you ever said, 'I'd love to write a script, but don't know where to start'? Or watched the latest binge-worthy Netflix series and thought you could do better? 

Do Drama explores the how and why of writing drama, not as an instruction manual, but as a lively conversation with one of Britain's most prolific and successful screenwriters, Lucy Gannon. And she didn't write her first play until she was 39. 

By sharing what she has learned over three decades of writing primetime drama, she will now help you, whether a novice or more experienced writer, to:   

• Write your script from the first scene to the last 
• Create vivid characters with a personality and a past 
• Develop storylines, structure and write a treatment 
• Understand how the industry works so you can take your next step

Writing drama is not about education, class or cleverness, it's about your deep desire to tell stories, to create characters, finding the humour alongside the pathos, to delight and enthral millions. There is no golden path into production. But the world is hungry for talent. You are the talent. So, what are you waiting for?
