Christopher Vogler, author of The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers and Hollywood script consultant
I have been quoting Lisa Dethridge for years. Thanks to this book I can now refer my students to chapter and verse. Lisa Dethridge illuminates the art, craft and industry of the screenwriter. I recommend her book to all my students.
