Full description for Writing the Romantic Comedy
From the slapstick shenanigans of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby to the sexy repartee of Shakespeare in Love, the romantic comedy is Hollywood's most enduring genre. Whether a first-time screenwriter, an intermediate marooned in the rewriting process, or an armchair enthusiast looking for an insider's perspective on what makes the genre tick, Writing the Romantic Comedy teaches readers everything they need to know to craft a winning script. All the basics are covered, from setting up an inventive story concept to creating characters that set off sparks, laughs that go deep and dialogue that gets right to the heart.
