Dear colleagues
I'm delighted to tell you that today Palgrave Macmillan has published my new book; 'Screenwriting Poetics and the Screen Idea'. This is a new and original investigation into how screenwriting works, applying a range of film, media and creative theories to the study and research of screenwriting. It includes three new, original case studies: story development in the successful ITV soap Emmerdale, the silent film work of Hitchcock’s first major screenwriter Eliot Stannard, and on David Lean’s last, unfinished ‘magnum opus’ Nostromo.
This is the first title in the new Palgrave Studies in Screenwriting book series. Further titles will be published in December, and in the New Year. More information on these to follow, and new proposals welcomed.
With best wishes to all, and hope you enjoy the book.
Ian
